Charming Baker, Trouble Rides a Fast Horse, 2008

ALL ABOUT NEWCOMERS

Artnet Auctions's Newcomers sale features work by artists who are newer to the auction market. From emerging rising stars to mid-career and established art world figures, artists represented in this sale are fresh to the auction market––and their work represents a great collecting opportunity. 

 

We used the Artnet Price Database to look at the data behind sales of works by three of the artists in the sale––Charming Baker, Isabella Nazzarri, and Math Bass. Read on to see why you should consider collecting works by these artists right now.

Charming Baker, whose 2008 work Trouble Rides a Fast Horse (shown above) is estimated at $10,000–15,000 in our Newcomers sale, first earned his spot as a rising star with a 2011 solo exhibition at Mercer Street Studios in Covent Garden. Since then, he has exhibited work around the world, and seen auction results top $65,000––without the aid of a dealer or traditional gallery representation––and his notable fans include fellow British artist Damien Hirst, gallerist Harry Blain, and collector Tico Mugrabi.

Isabella Nazzarri, another Newcomers artist, is much newer to the market than Baker, and her paintings have hit the auction block only three times before this sale. Nazzarri’s record at auction is $6,373, set in 2018, making the low estimates of $3,000 and $5,000 for her two works in Newcomers very reasonable––especially because both Sublimazione di una valle (2017) and Movimento 2 (2017) are of similar size and period to Nazzarri's top lot.

Artist Math Bass, meanwhile, has had 19 works come to the secondary market. Represented by Cirrus Gallery in Los Angeles and Various Small Fires in Asia, Bass’s market has been consistently strong since the artist's auction record was set at $81,250 back in 2015. Additionally, Bass already has a broad range of institutional support. They had a solo show at MoMA PS1 in 2015, and their work is represented in the collections of the Hammer Museum, the LACMA, and the Yuz Museum in Shanghai. Newz! (3 works) (2017), estimated at $6,000–8,000 in Newcomers, is the first set of prints by Bass to ever hit the auction market––representing a great opportunity to collect Bass’s work at an affordable price.
