Would any of our art 'experts' care to offer their knowledge/thoughts (artist, subject, etc.) about the piece pictured below? I'm told it was owned by the London art dealer Peter Cochrane.
Thanks again for the advice. It is much appreciated.I can speak to the condition, perhaps. Lined. Masking varnish? Use of bitumen indicated by chunky crackling: Mid-19th C.? English, after Dutch Italianate? Might look a good deal better after a professional cleaning. May in fact look worse. Shows some signs of a previous over-cleaning, esp. in the foliage. I recommend a uv and infrared inspection before entering any possible negotiations.
I believe this to be unintentional genius...print out and frame immediatelyI guess it's like saying you have an affinity for jazz but only listen to Kind of Blue.
These people are my least favorite in the world. But anyway, I think there should at least be an intent to be honest with art. I want to own originals. Replicas aren't very interesting or redeeming, unless they were created with an intent of multiplicity. So unlike most I'd rather sacrifice quality of art before the authenticity of format, because art in the form of a poster undermines its value. When I first moved into my own place I wanted some art but had no money. I had a friend paint this exact image on a canvas she was going to throw out and then I had it framed. I still have it and I'm quite fond of it. It's 48" x 48". It's decent.I've had quite a few people ask who painted it under the assumption that it was to be taken seriously or done by a "real artist." I use the name of a fake Bulgarian conceptual artist "Asen Stoichkov."
