Re: Painting that I cant find the artist
We get a lot of paintings like this here for valuation, but the fact of the matter is most paintings really need to be physically appraised to determine what you're dealing with. What I can tell you is a great many paintings with just a last name signature tend to be "Decorator Art" of a type sold by Art Wholesalers through department stores and decorator outlets. Values for art like this tends to be very modest in the secondary market without a professional appraisal.
