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.
