Andy Warhol is of course very hot in auctions at this time.
ReplyDeleteHe is even more sought after since the Andy Warhol committee decided end of June 2012 to stop to establish certificates of authenticity. It will be very difficult to sell an Andy Warhol if the owner doesn't have a certificate from the Warhol Foundation. Unless an owner has a verifiable provenance and a provenance with related connection to Warhol, an Andy Warhol will become unsellable just like the Pollocks, Haring, etc.
The prices already doubled for major pieces.
An owner of an artwork in the USA in comparison with Europe will sue an authenticator if this last one doesn't give a positive opinion for his artwork. We all know what it cost when we need a lawyer....The Warhol foundation if it wanted to survive needed to stop the bleeding by canceling the authentication service. It's very sad but it the result of the actions from people with a lot of money( luckily their art will not be authenticated neither) so this is a loose situation for everybody. it will make it impossible for the collector to sell his artwork if not properly documented.
In Europe this type of situation is extremely rare, you can't just sue somebody because you have a lot of money... There are rules.
Wildenstein Institute knows about this problem and prepared the future very wisely by no longer make certificates of authenticity but by address a note the owner mentioning that a submitted work will be included in a catalogue raisonne, this is for Cezanne, Degas etc The Wildenstein Foundation despite that they mention a painting by Modigliani acceptable to be included in their Catalogue Raisonne will not force Sotheby's or Christie's to accept this particular Modigliani for their future auctions , simply because it is not included in the catalogue by Ceroni !!!!!
The owner of this Modigliani consulted me to defend his interests , but unfortunately Modigliani remains an impossible painter to buy or sell without the Ceroni.
We have at this time 21 Andy Warhol paintings for sale. All of them with the certificate of the foundation. The latest Andy Warhol added in our portfolio is a Giant Mao. Requested price is more than 100 M $ which makes this painting a member of the group paintings with a value above 100 Million $.
