This is a great article that explains exactly why the collector should interest themselves in details beyond just market value, including materials, process, and the artist's education and career.

I would add, artists often have a core group of collectors in the city or region where they began their career, so there may be some unpublished history of works being sold and resold through local dealers. In addition to galleries, large "antique malls" in the artist's home region are a good resource. Dozens of dealers can occupy these businesses, including art dealers, and the mall manager will be familiar with most of what has been sold (or failed to sell).
