The Nobile Index is a series of monographic publications of art
sales prices achieved at auction, for a selection of leading
20th-century British artists. They involve the collaboration of a
commercial art dealership, Piano Nobile Works of Art and the
University at Bristol's History of Art Department; bringing
together academic and commercial expertise on the artists for the
benefit of those with an interest in their work. They are funded by
the generosity of a private benefactor. The studies are confined to
analyses of auction results over the last 21 years. Although
largely from UK sales, data supplied by international salerooms are
also included. Graphs and interpretations of these figures are
analysed and significant trends and buying patterns revealed. It is
envisaged that this data will be of growing value to private and
corporate clients, museums and fine art funds. Accurate commercial
appraisal has always played an important role in the consideration
of new acquisitions throughout the history of art. No more so than
today is this seen with the fluctuating, but ever more significant
rise in value commanded by the best of many 20th-century artists'
work. Written by Dr Louise Hughes as part of her doctoral studies
at the University of Bristol, this publication establishes the art
market fortunes of one of Britain's foremost modern artists, Walter
Sickert. Examining factors such as general and specific market
trends, media, genres and biography, Dr Hughes' analysis of sales
prices provides an invaluable research tool in assessing the
commercial positioning of Sickert's work. The publication consists
of two sections - biography, results and analysis and an insert
with an appendices of works sold between 1990 and 2011.
