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 of 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 art sales results from 1990 to the time of the
study. 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. This
publication of the Nobile Index Series, written by Sophie
Hatchwell, academic at Bristol University, focuses on the sales
history of Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud, two titans of modern
art. Both controversial, revered, and celebrated in their lifetime,
this publication will explore how their work has fared at auctions
since 1990. Comparing the fortunes of both, Sophie Hatchwell
examines how genres, media, significant sales and exhibitions, and
their deaths have impacted upon the value of their work
individually. The publication comes in two sections - an
introduction, results and analysis, and a booklet insert of
appendices. This edition on Bacon and Freud marks the fifth and
final publication of the Nobile Index series. To celebrate its
release, a commemorative edition comprising all five publications,
on Sickert, Bomberg, Lowry, Spencer, and Bacon and Freud will be
produced.
