Expertise

I can answer questions about Salvador Dali. While I cannot do FREE APPRAISALS, I might be able to help you sell your works. I can also help with Chagall, Miro, Picasso and other 20th Century Masters.

Please do not give me a bad rating if I don't have info on your unknown artists works, as that makes no sense.) Questions about a type of art or medium can be answered with one response in most cases. Technical issues are easier to deal with than specifics about an artist. If you need help finding values or history on an artist, it will probably involve research that can sometimes take hours to complete. If you have more than one image to send, I will give you an alternate email address as this system cannot handle multiple images.

2009-11-02 Lincoln in Dalivision/Miro Ubiroi:

You are asking for an appraisal. Before value can be established, the pieces need to be authenticated. As art ages, new certifiactes have to be created. If you want to keep them, I can refer you to
