What Is The Best Type of Art?
In general oil on canvas or panel has historically been the best seller in the art world (it’s regarded as the most permanent and portable form). Whilst the Impressionists are popular the work of “old masters” has been most consistent. Picasso and Van Gogh are the current price record holders in the salerooms. More recently contemporary sculpture has become fashionable, as seen in last year’s sale of Damien Hirst’s work.
