Featured help in finding a print

So long as it's a real pencil signature and not just part of the print.

The Seidel looks like a pictorialist photo to me - lots of mood. Pictorialism was out of favor for a very long time, but I have read that there has been something of a resurgence. I'm finding no references online to Seidel as a pictorialist.

noted, thanks mos, what about if it is in pen ? (might be a stupid question)

i genuinely hate it when this sort of thing happens, im gonna be climbing the walls tonight

they were donated by the same lady who also donated a large bronze

 

You don't have the name of the artist, painting title or a photo of it? Sorry am a bit lost

 

Any good?

 

you might have to backtrack mate (cs), its gone off on a different tangent

 

I've heard it said that people generally sign in pencil because it has a unique look. It's supposed to be easier to tell a real pencil signature from a reproduction than it is to differentiate a signature in ink. And it's unlikely that some would be signed in pencil and others in ink.

 

Sorry I got lost in the fog. Be nice if it's the real thing. Bizarre to think that a print from 1980 is that valuable. Possibly because there is limited access to the original negatives?

 

it is quite a fun image, never noticed the hands aspect to it before

i just saw it as a photograph of picasso and thought it woudnt have that much interest

and it was £50 !

 

I guess it all boils down to if it is a print taken from an original negative and not a secondary image? Time to read up on identifying silver prints and polish your best loupe. ​

 

the first pic on the seidel website is more in character with the piece, than the photograph

alot more artsy

 

no joke im loupeless at the moment, i keep losing the buggars
will have to go tomorrow with a puzzle magnifying glass

 

cant sleep @moreotherstuff

 

I can, and it's my bedtime. Good night.

 

not even close

alexa tried waking me at 8, must have told her to get lost

honestly, i shouldn't be allowed to socialize

its you guys i feel sorry for, having to deal with me

i was so stressed i drank 4 cans of special brew and fell alseep in a public toilet

(nice toilets in westward ho, nearly as big as my flat)

 

My days of falling asleep in public toilets are fortunately behind me.

 

No silver print then?

 

no it was unsigned, with the title and and artists name super imposed on the actual print (part of the print)

might still have been worth a little but, but not hold on to your trousers money

might have been from a gallery poster etc i reckon

 

Ah okay. Sometimes it's good to dream
