<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pat P, post: 124586, member: 201&quot;]LOL!</p><p><br /></p><p>MOS, I have a similar tale. My uncle was a WPA artist, studied with and was a colleague of some of the mid-century biggies, some of his work is or has been in museums or has toured, and some pieces are on display on the Smithsonian website. His name is mentioned in quite a few articles about the genres in which he worked.</p><p><br /></p><p>But when he got married in his mid or late 30s, he turned to commercial art to support his family and apparently never tried to sell his paintings. After his death, my cousin approached auction houses and they said the same thing you were told... since there are no auction records, they&#039;re reluctant to sell his pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
