<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Amit Vyas, post: 8215179, member: 117268&quot;]It would be interesting to do a controlled study on the general “value” of provenance, irrespective of it being a famous one. I have a feeling that having any name (unless it has a negative connotation) attached to the description will cause many people to bid a higher amount than they would have otherwise, even if unconsciously.</p><p><br /></p><p>And what if the collection of an otherwise “ordinary” collector had a really imposing sounding name unrelated to a collecting theme? Would some people be psychologically more inclined to pay more for something out of The Whitehouse Collection or The Legionnaire Collection?. (I just made up those names: apologies if anyone has a collection with these names.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
