[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 55041, member: 51"]Hi Tyeldom, A couple of thoughts on the print... The one on Ebay (although the title says 1976) also says A/P 1979, it is exactly like yours. This makes a bit suspicious that there would have been multiple Artist Proofs exactly like this, same scene, same year -- and if my eyes aren't deceiving me, it looks like the signature from both is identical. Compare the "R's", the way it fades out. Could the signature be a print rather than hand signed? I do know that the buckling you mentioned is not good, and I fear removing it will probably find a buckled print. I think there are ways to correct this, but they aren't full proof and are a bit involved and might cost more time or money than the value of the piece. R.C. Gorman, Amado Pena, "Southwestern" prints in general, have really dropped in value where I live, not sure about the rest of the U.S. I find some of them quite nice, but they are not selling well here. Don't know much about the painting, looks like you have a few leads though! Best of luck![/QUOTE]
