    Hi all,
    I found this at a estate sale yesterday and grabbed it - because there was a line of people behind me coming in & grabbing stuff - all I did was look at the big certificate on the back & paid. But when I got home with my stuff and took a closer look at it, the signature looks like something different; I don't see Alvar in it!?
    Is this a Sunol Alvar?
    If so, does anyone know it's name/title?
    Thank you!

    Alvar looks like the dealer, not the artist.

    Colors look similar to the work of Alvar Sunol, and I think that is the artist that is mentioned on the back--whether it goes with the signed print or not, but I'm not as good as some folks here comparing artistic styles.

    See what you mean by the signature.

    I'm sorry, but it looks to me like the artist on the front tore the ad out of a magazine and poorly taped it on the back of the work. The art is not bad and the style is somewhat similar to Alvar's, and I don't know Alvar, but from what I'm seeing, the siggys aren't anywhere near the same.....

    Not Alvar at all.
