The Best Famous Modern Artists to Invest In 2023

The unusual upbringing of American artist Mary Cassat brought her from rural Pennsylvania through London, Berlin, and, eventually, Paris, the city to which she expatriated in 1870. Cassatt became close colleagues with Degas, taking after his impressionist style before shifting to Japanese-inspired printmaking in the following decades. While Cassatt may not fetch Degas prices, her feminist depictions of the New Woman as well as mothers and daughters are regularly sold for millions, with In The Box being her pinnacle work. While Cassatt’s price performance has been relatively lackluster in recent decades, this can be attributed to historical under-recognition and undervaluation of female artists.
