Following work intends to investigate the revaluation of impressionist Berthe Moriot’s art throughout the years, and what has played a part in both the forgetting and remembering of Morisot. Thus, this master thesis will also explore how the gender of the artist can affect the price development and value of the art, and will therefore compare Morisot to her peers. In addition to contributing to the literature by examining the importance of gender and auction prices, it appears that this study will be the first to examine the sales statistics of Berthe Morisot’s paintings in a comparison with the male impressionists in any depth. The results show that Morisot in comparison with her male peers generally sells less alsters to lower prices. The results also show that Morsiot’s price development has increased more in the last few decades than the impressionistic men, with exception for Claude Monet. Furthermore, the results show that Morisot’s fall and then later rise, is a reflection of the societal views on the female artist, and identified the importance of acknowledgement and visibility of female artists which proved to be an essential determining factor for prices.
