How do I tell an authentic modern art work from a reproduction?

Examine the signature under magnification and compare it to published references. Check the support and materials: a genuine aged canvas will show natural craquelure. A certificate of authenticity or a listing in a catalogue raisonné provides the strongest guarantee of authenticity.

What prices should I expect for modern art from a professional antique dealer?

Prices vary widely depending on the artist, medium and format. A signed print or drawing can start from around £200–500, while an oil on canvas by a recognised name may exceed £10,000. Condition and provenance are the two factors that most strongly influence value.

Which movements fall under the label 'modern art'?

Modern art encompasses Fauvism, Cubism, Expressionism, Surrealism, geometric abstraction and lyrical abstraction, covering roughly the period from 1860 to 1970. Each movement has its own formal codes and key artists, so knowing the movement helps narrow your search considerably.

How should I care for a modern painting or sculpture?

Avoid direct sunlight and humidity fluctuations. Dust sculptures gently with a soft brush. Never attempt to clean the painted surface of a canvas yourself — entrust any thorough maintenance to an accredited art conservator to avoid irreversible damage.

What guarantees does buying modern art from a professional antique dealer offer?

A professional dealer stands behind the authenticity and described condition of every piece. They can provide a detailed invoice serving as a certificate, high-resolution photographs and full provenance information — all of which also facilitate any future resale or independent appraisal.
