Berthe Morisot: the overlooked Impressionist whose etchings are finally getting noticed
Berthe Morisot outsold Monet and Renoir at auction in 1875 and helped found Impressionism, yet her small run of drypoint etchings has spent decades as the most overlooked part of her work. Two Bonhams sales tell the story: $300 in 2007, $400 in 2013, against paintings now estimated in the millions. New retrospectives in Genoa and San Francisco are putting that gap under scrutiny.
