Document Summary
Contemporary, impressionist, and renaissance pieces yield the most money. There is also a huge market for biblical artifacts. When an artist makes a rendition of another, famous piece in order to hone his/her skills. Sometimes made within the artist"s own studio or by his students. Sometimes the artist has nothing to do with it. An original (old) object altered to make it appear more valuable. An object which is wholly new in imitation of something else. Where the piece came from (geography, time period, etc. ) The piece"s history of collection; the hands it has passed through. Knowingly over- or underestimating the value of a piece of art for personal gain. Two terracottas found near sardis are unprovenanced antiquities. Apollo, found near piombino - 520-475 bce or 1st cent.
