Jim. Another collector. I luv it! Sounds like you have some very nice works. Focus of my collection is 19th Century: Impressionist, Realist, & Romantic period British, French & American artists (plus a few 17th & 18th Century Flemish, Dutch & Italian etchings and engravings). Most by any one artist? 6 works by James McNeil Whistler. Single works by Louis Betts, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, Marcellin Desboutin, Seymour Haden, George Clausen, Circle of John Constable, Rembrandt, Anthony van Dyck, and others. Although he's far from a household name, auction prices for Clausen's better paintings have gone ballistic the past several years. Pastels, such as the one we have, began firming in price more recently. Here R some of the museums with works of his in their collections: artcyclopedia.com Like you, don't look at the collection as an investment. Have yet to sell anything. However, being aware of various artist's auction price trends helps obtain good value when a possible purshase presents itself. Curiosity prompts checking action records, from time to time, after that:o) Half the fun is reading about the various artists and the times they lived in. Have built up a nice little Art History Library over the years. IMO, one of the best written genre general books is: The History of Impressionism, by John Rewald. Iso
