Poast new message in this thread
Date: March 1st, 2021 10:05 PM Author: exciting cyan office roommate I have a few 100+ year old paintings inherited from family (one is a priest painting that is probably over 200 years old, we are not sure, another is an 1899 painting of some badass old black dude that an ancestor of mine painted, to name a few).
I'm not trying to buy a Picasso. But where can I get really badass old oil paintings that aren't really expensive? I'm talking a few hundred bucks even. |

Date: March 1st, 2021 10:28 PM Author: violent ladyboy french chef This is an actual (shitty) scribble by Picasso. Picasso was much more prolific than people realize; he was constantly scribbling shit out for people, signing napkins, doing 30 second drawings on notepads and sheets. The public has this impression that "great artist" = "few works" and for some artists that's true but Picasso isn't one of them.

There's a very complicated art history that gets studied here. Sometimes they'd just start the work and then he'd take over; at other points they were basically functioning as a creative assembly line with Pablo just adding a few finishing touches.

And they didn’t know it was fake when they sold it. And they invited you to do your own investigation before buying. How can they know other than to confirm and represent the bonafides as presented to them. Also the art gets cache simply by being owned by famous collectors, if only for a little while.
“Whoops, sorry, I’ll quietly give you your money back,” is how these things go whenever they are called out on a fake. And that only happens some 5 percent of the time. |

Pro antic is a similar French option, that tends to be similarly overpriced. Direct at auction from a reputable house is best from a cost perspective. US auction houses will typically list on one or both of Invaluable and liveauctioneers, except Sotheby’s and Christie’s I think run exclusively on their own platform (and cater to higher end stuff). Invaluable and liveauctioneers will also have European auctions, although some smaller French/euro houses are only on drouot or interencheres.
