    My name is Andres, I live in Guatemala City, and became an art collectionist by accident, a very close friend of mine, got this Edgar Negret's painting in Haiti, got it at an antique store like 20 years ago and all this time, thought it was from a local artist, a few years back, he moved with his family to America and left me this painting as payment for money he owed me. Now I am reaching out to you, looking for an opportunity to sell it, thank you in advance for your feedback and advise!

    I believe your post is a request to value your painting and suggest a site where you can sell the painting, therefor, I offer this advice; consult an art dealer for an appraisal, surf the web to find the sale prices of your artists' other paintings, then after determining the value, decide whether to offer it for sale on one of the popular websites. The art dealer may offer to purchase the item. Either way, the research is on you.

    you're too kind ! :playful:

    I read it differently............

    but , since no one reported it for ' offering to sell '.......maybe I read it wrong....

    we'll see...;)

    I chose to give OP the benefit of the doubt and chalk it up to a curfuffle of words.

    & I'm quick to bounce the multitude of folks who come here to try and sell ...antiques.... to Antiquers...!

    dozens, you'll never see because of quick actions by concerned members.....like myself and others !;)

    Hello, Andrés! Thank you so much for joining us. You'll find lots of knowledgable and helpful people here. As to your artwork, I suggest you start a separate post in the Art Forum. Include a photograph of your work from both front and back including frame. I, for one, will be very interested to see it as the listed Colombian artist Edgar Negret worked mainly as a sculptor.

    Hello @Andrés Fernández and WELCOME! As I understand, you're looking for advice and feedback' and Debora suggested posting in the ART Forum. If you've not posted before, or recently, you might try these suggestions as there are some size restriction especially:
    For Future reference, when posting images:

    Try emailing them to yourself as "medium" size, they should then be under 1 MB!

    Each image MUST be UNDER 1 MB....
    There are instructions on site here on how to reduce the size of your image, if that is the problem......you are allowed up to 10 images per post!!! Here are some links to the instructions:

    If on the computer:
    https://www.antiquers.com/threads/posting-a-thread-and-uploading-pictures.15990/

    If on an iPhone:
    https://www.antiquers.com/threads/resizing-photos-on-i-phone.35097/

    And if on an Android phone:
    https://www.antiquers.com/threads/using-an-android-phone-for-pics-on-antiquers.41709/

    As an added note, when you have your photos LISTED, BEFORE you hit POST, please click on the wording that says to "POST EVERY IMAGE FULL SIZE" !! That way, we're not clicking on little thumbnails, but get to see all of the images full sized!! Thanks! Remember, it takes a bit for MOST new members to get the hang of it, but it's really quite simple once you get used to it!!!" IF you need more help, please ASK!!!
