Analyzing Braque

French artist Georges Braque was a major painter and sculptor, whose crucial contribution to the history of art was his role in the development of Cubism.

On May 7, 2013, Braque’s beautiful Paysage a La Ciotat sold for US$15.8 million at Sotheby’s Evening Sale of Impressionist and Modern Art. This is his highest sale price achieved at auction to date, surpassing Braque’s previous highest price at auction, La Treille, which sold for US$10.1 million in May 2010. We used the occasion to take a closer look at the market development for Braque, and compare him to the Modern 25 Index using artnet Analytics artnet Indices, such as the Modern Art Index (artnet Mod25™ Index), track the performance of a variety of artists and collecting categories. The artnet Mod25™ Index combines performance data from 25 leading Modern artists, who best represent the Modern Art auction market.’
