Jason Jacques: Art Nouveau and Japonist pottery

The Jason Jacques collection of European Art Nouveau and Japonist pottery is on par with the best public or private fin de siècle ceramics collections in the world. Jason Jacques answers to the Artfinding's exclusive interview about his specialty and vision of the art market.

What makes Jason Jacques so interest into Japanist and Art Nouveau ceramics is the way the artists carries the human spirit of that time. The Art Nouveau ceramics stigmatize a great revolution in the way people use to appreciate things, since ceramics have incredible humble origins, they come from clay and people of that time were pushing against opulence, the aristocracy and all the fakeness of the World.

Among all the artists he deals in, the most collectable would be Clément Massier and Tiffany glass, all that is easy for people to recognize as "Art Nouveau".

The market seams much more into Art Nouveau glass, rather than Art Nouveau ceramics. For Jason Jacques, glass from the Art Nouveau period sells for so much more than the ceramics from the period, because glass is shiny and people like shiny things. In the collector's World people wants other people to recognize them and to validate who they are as wealthy and rich people. His clients collect for totally different reasons, since they don't need that kind of validation.

Thanks to Tiffany for the US market lamps are doing great and it is harder and harder to find good stuff for my clients who are more than ever willing to collect Tiffany lamps and art nouveau furniture.

• Jean Lami (2011-01-14) Report to moderator J'ai longtemps été marchand en verrerie et céramique art nouveau à Paris au Louvre des Antiquaires. Depuis les années 2000 c'est de plus en plus difficile. Les japonais et les américains ne sont plus acheteurs. J'ai longtemps cru que les français, les hollandais et les allemands (par leur histoire avec ce courant) suffiraient à compenser la perte, mais non. Aujourd'hui seules les galeries d'art nouveau qui font du Tiffany et qui vendent à des américains gardent la tête hors de l'eau.
