Default Interesting Provenance for High Grade Wagners

Posted By: davidcycleback

In the expensive fine art market a lot of stuff has been stolen, which is in part why knowing the provenance is essential when buying a Picasso or Modigliani painting. In some European countries, disclosing the ownership history is legally required for high end art because of the theft issues ... Obviously, good provenance simultaniously helps substantiate the artwork's authenticity.
