A little early perhaps, but there are a few listings for Sargent in
Art sales from early in the eighteenth century to early in the
twentieth century : (mostly old master and early English pictures) / by
Algernon Graves (London, 1918-21)
3 vols.
and a few for both Sargent and Cassat in
Dictionnaire des ventes d'art faites en France et à l'étranger
pendant les XVIIIme & XIXme siècles : tableaux, dessins, estampes,
aquarelles, miniatures, pastels, gouaches, sépias, fusains, emaux, eventails
peints & vitraux / H. Mireur.
Imprint Paris : Maison d'Editions d'OEuvres artistiques, Ch. de
Vincenti, 1911-1912
7 vols.
Other important sources, similar to Art Prices Current (1908-73) mentioned
previously, are the World Collectors' Annuary (1946-present?), and the
Kunstpreisverzeichnis/Art Price Annual/Kunstpreisjahrbuch (1940-present);
and of course the invaluable web version of Art Sales Index, the only online
source for early-20th c. sales results. Artprice.com (aka ADEC) seems also
to be planning to include such historical data, but I haven't seen it yet.
If anyone out there has more information about that I would love to hear it.

Subject: Old Art Auction/Sales Info
I have been given a request for for early auction
prices/records of Cassatt and Sargent paintings. The
earliest data that has been found is from 1987, which
reflects only the prices these artists command in a
mature market. As the research continues, searches
would expand from Cassatt and Sargent to American
impressionists and late 19th century European artists.
Information desired includes: title of painting,
dimensions, media, year painted, year sold, auction
house, price estimates, and hammer price. Does anyone
know where we should start looking? Any help would be
most appreciated.
