Re: Paintings
As I've said before, original artwork cannot really be appraised online. Such pieces really need to be physically examined by a qualified Fine Arts Appraiser. Your best bet if you want to find out if your piece is by a " Known Artist" is to go here http://www.artprice.com and search for the artists name. If there is no listing for your artist it could be that the artist hasn't sold any artwork at a major auction house since the late 1980's. This generally means the piece is low cost Decorator Art of a type sold at Starving Artist type shows and Decorator outlets.
Re: Paintings
Thank you for your quick reply.I have been left a whole lot of stuff from my grandmother.It was all gonna be donated or thrown out .My family did not want to mess with it but I was very close to her and I know she had alot of beautiful antiques and vintage items.I am trying to deccide what to keep and what to sell.I do not know the value of anything so I need to research each piece.I will follow up with the other site for paintings and focus more on other items with this site.Any help is greatly appreciated as i could not pay to have this many pieces appraised.Thank you again.Michellem
