Buy African Antiques - Free African Art Newsletter
sample free newsletter April 2009 (if your not on the list you can enter your email at the bottom of this page):
What Price Provenances ?
Dear $email,
September 1978 Irwin Hershey started for five years the Primitive Art Newsletter that was a paid membership newsletter sended by post. In his volume 1, no. 2 edition of october 1978, he gave us some interesting tips and asked some good questions about provenance. His observations are still valuable today.
With primitive art prices seemingly reaching highs every time you look around, provenances are growing more and more important to collectors who want to make sure the objects they're buying are authentic and good quality .
But does this a provenance actually insure this ?
Experts are unanimous in their judgment that provenance do not authenticate objects, nor are they a guarantee of quality....
Provenance Do's and Don'tsPaying extra for a provenance makes good sense if what you are buying is a good provenance. Here are a few questions to ask yourself before you decide whether the provenance you're buying is of any real value:
If all- or at least most - of these questions can be answered to your satisfaction, the chances are good that the provenance you're getting is worth the extra money you're paying for it. |
read the whole article further and add your comments at What Price Provenance - temporarly free access to this article for everyone.
In April 2009 we announced to our members 11 quality coming auctions and added an auction finder section. In the African Art Club we added a new videos section and among the articles :

I
think it’s fine and has improved over time. I appreciate the
effort/work put into it, and I’m happy and thankful to receive it.
A very good tool, sometimes to see, sometimes to learn |

I really enjoy your website, extremely informative and
genuine. I am working towards being the next “David Norden” LOL ! I
am currently working on my business to start my African antique
colectables from website, maybe set up shop. I am learning to be an
expert in the field and your site has helped me learn a lot. I’m also
considering to be a supplier only, I’m wheighing my options. I will
send you samples of pieces I am getting soon and see if you have an
interest. I would love to receive information on the history of objects
and their value. I really enjoyed the interview you had on African art
dealers on website , are they genuine or not ? I enjoy receiving info on
exhibitions around the world etc. I hope one day (soon) to be part of
that.
I really enjoy it and use it as reference as to how I
would like my website to be. I also love how you have added a personal
touch in your site and putting pics of your family. This shows a genuine
side of your business and that makes you approachable.

I like information of afrika-art. But not always about the
same acquaintance items, that you always see in the books. I like to see
items what people back at home have. Nice and (mabe) old, but other
things. Not always the same famous generally known art-items.
You know what I mean David, not always the picture. New things, new opportunity, for to buy and mabe later an good investment.
I like the African Antiques newsletter very much
