<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 338820, member: 37&quot;]Took the 2-3K value given as realistic prices without researching.&nbsp; Think the auction prices are more realistic.&nbsp; One thing I have found is that modern artist&#039;s work on the secondary market is worth a fraction of what they sell their works for.&nbsp; I am not entirely sure why.&nbsp; It may be that those buying on the secondary market are seeking bargains and those buying directly from the artist are seeking the interaction with the artist and/or assurance the work is real.&nbsp; There is also the factor of the purchaser wanting to support the artist directly, though in this case, the estate.&nbsp; People who buy new art and cultivate relationships in the art world are a different critter than those of us who build collections of <i>used</i> art.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
