So recently I was dumpster diving an estate sale that got thrown out. Among the discarded objects were a few paintings. I pulled this one out after it had been stepped through unfortunately. Looks to be original and am planning on getting it restored. Do any of you have any recs on a reputable spot to send this to? I would love to keep this bit of history around since he is no longer with us.
I am buying from an art gallery for the first time and wondering what I should be asking or looking for. I know I did ask for a COA and for the artist to sign it if not already, and I asked if they would be willing to give me some insight on what the process was and his meaning. His next showing is in January at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum and I hope more people will get to enjoy his work.
found it on eBay. I really doubt it, but doesnt hurt to ask.
Got these as a gift from a gallery, wondering how much I can sell them for ?
Hello
I have several valuable pieces of art that should be insured. I am trying to find a high quality insurance policy but not having luck navigating companies that deal with private collectors of average net worth. Can someone recommend avenues to secure quality fine art insurance? Two of the pieces together are valued around 15k and might be lent out for exhibition in the future.
Thanks
I saw this at a thrift store, I'm somewhat interested, it isn't outrageously priced. but the price isn't so cheap that I'd throw caution to the wind. Does anyone know much about the values on these?
I know Dali prints are reprinted or outright faked a lot, so I can't figure out where the value on them is. It has a stamped signature, but no certification or anything on the back to help. I've been looking into this online, but I feel like I am running in circles a bit.
Other then the artist name Tim Prusmack and that each banner is about 5/6 feet long. I can't seem to find any other Information. Any help would be great amd truly appreciated.
Bought this set from an estate sale not sure it's valuable. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Joseph Birbeck was an artist from early 20th century.
A very wonderful painting from around 1650, that we bought at a now long-defunct religious antique shop. It brings tears to my eyes.

Energetic bidding made history during S.I. Newhouse’s private collection followed by the 20th Century Evening Sale, on the opening night of Christie’s marquee week in New York. Selling for $181,185,000, Jackson Pollock’s Number 7A, 1948 was the top lot of the first night of Christie’s 20th and 21st Century Art sales week in New York, setting a new auction record for the artist.
I’ve been using wassily.ai and the artnet price database. I’ve found mutual art helpful but harder to use. Curious what you guys use?
Very pleased with this sculpture I picked up at a garage sale. Looks to be in the style of Calder but I can’t imagine it’s actually a Calder piece. I can’t find an exact match online but looks similar to many Calder pieces. It has a tiny hole on the top so imagine it hung at one time. I love it and will keep it forever but If anyone has any insight it love to hear it.
Hey all, this is going to be a long-shot but I’m hoping the internet can work its magic for me on this one.
15 years ago (ugh) I sang in a prog rock band based out of Los Angeles that commissioned an album cover from Colin Frangicetto. We got to use the digital image as we wanted, but unfortunately none of us really had “art money” to be able to afford the actual painting at that time.
I’ve been in contact with Colin and he let me know he sold it shortly after he completed it, but I don’t want to put him in an awkward position by asking him for info on the buyer.
So that brings me here! I’m hoping that the buyer may have been a Circa or Psychic Babble fan, or perhaps someone here has a lead on where it may be! It could also just end up that the original buyer doesn’t want to part with it, which is perfectly fine too!
Anyway, any leads or suggestions on other places I could post/look to try and track this down would be greatly appreciated!
Piece of art used to belong to someone who was an activist in Latin America and they brought it home to North America (somehow... It's 4x4 ft).
That's all I know. And there's no artist name anywhere to be found. Anyone have any idea what this could be?

I’ve had this Dalí print since college and honestly never thought much about it until recently. I’m moving things around in my place and started wondering whether it’s actually collectible or just more of a decorative reproduction.
It’s The Hallucinogenic Toreador (1969) by Salvador Dalí, marked AP 50/95 with what looks like a pencil signature. There’s also a COA from Jacob W. Arct Corp. from 2001 that says “lithograph plate signed.”
The framed piece is roughly 31x37. I attached photos of:
the full piece
signature
AP marking
COA
back of the frame
A couple things I’m curious about:
Does this look legitimate or more like a mass-produced gallery piece?
Any idea what something like this might realistically be worth?
Is there any way to tell if the glass is UV protective without taking it apart?
Does the framing/backing look professionally done?
I know Dalí prints are kind of a rabbit hole and values seem all over the place, so I figured Reddit would know more than I do.
