[QUOTE="benbenny007, post: 409866, member: 4194"]No chance. Way to expensive!! And to BIG of a gamble, way way to big! Its all about subject, size, used medium and provenace. The paintings youve seen are all authenticated or come with provenace before they fetch such prices. Charcoal, pencil and pastel drawings by this artist are around the $10.000 - $15.000 mark. Yes, A oil can fetch 5 to 10 times more than a charcoal or pencil. I would be surprised if a auctioneer puts a value more than $15.000 on this work without provenace and that is if you can get it unauthenticated. There are no existing auction results of this specifick work, so basically everybody could have drawn this picture. A auctioneer is not a expert. He or she buys data and base his value on auction results for the used medium and size. If he or she can not find any past auction result of this specific work than you are hard pushed to get it authenticated before you can put it up for auction. Welcome to the artworld. See prices below for drawings in pencil, charcoal, pastel. [ATTACH=full]142724[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]142725[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]142726[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
