What was the record price for a Degas painting?
That pricing art is often a more complex process than it seems is underscored by two works in the show by Degas, for whom a record price was set when a pastel and gouache work was auctioned last week at Sotheby’s. (That work, ”Dancer in Repose,” went for $27.9 million.)
What kind of art did Edgar Degas do?
Although he was panned by modern critics for his over-sexualized imagery of women, Edgar Degas’ prints of his pastels, etchings, and oil paintings continue to fascinate. In 1868, he became a member of a group of artists, including famous painters Monet and Renoir, in an attempt to get people involved in art.
How much does a Degas coffee pot cost?
One has an estimate of $8,000 to $9,600, while the other would be expected to fetch $12,800 to $16,000. On the lower-priced coffeepot the engraving is so worn that the surface is nearly smooth. ”It’s been cleaned too much over the centuries,” Ms. Hyde said. ”The more valuable one is in far better condition.”

What’s the difference between a Degas painting and a pastel?
”The painting is highly finished, was signed by the artist and sold by him within months of its completion, whereas the pastel was not sold by Degas, is not signed and therefore might be unfinished,” Ms. Hyde said. ”Drawings also are often regarded as preparations for finished works and are generally worth less than oil paintings.”
