[QUOTE="scoutshouse, post: 139682, member: 267"]More Other Stuff and I are neck and neck! Asking price (and estimate) means what the seller wants, but art and collectibles (anything for that matter) are only worth what people will pay for them. So far, we only know what the sellers believed his work was worth So I would look for at least three recently sold paintings and go from there. He may not be well represented on US databases. But I would assume Desa Unicum auction house in Poland did that to arrive at their estimate, so like MoreOtherStuff said, maybe a reasonable price. What's the background? any provenance or history? faint pencil marks on the back? Where are you located? You can take it to a good auction house and get an informal appraisal, if you want to sell it yourself - or let them sell it for you. They will want to know how you came by it, and as much history as you can offer - but WE are genuinely curious! :)[/QUOTE]
