An expert with deep understanding of art history is required in the art market

The statement is true, because only an expert in art history can judge whether an art object is genuine and what its real value is.

• In the art market, paintings, sculptures and antiques are bought and sold, often for very high prices.
• The price of an art object depends on its authenticity, its age, its artist or school, its rarity and its historical importance.
• Fake or copied artworks are also sold in the market. An expert with a deep understanding of art history can identify the period, style and technique of a work and detect forgeries.
• Such an expert also helps museums, collectors and auction houses to buy correctly, to fix a fair price and to preserve artworks properly.

Therefore, an art history expert is required in the art market.
