<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pat P, post: 499917, member: 201&quot;]I have two portraits that were hand-drawn on the same piece of paper by a famous mid-20th century artist.</p><p><br /></p><p>Apparently they were done as informal sketches since they&#039;re in opposing orientations... they&#039;re on the same side of the paper, but when one is right side up, the other is upside down. Each sketch is signed underneath the image.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, the sheet was folded at one time down the middle, although the fold was angled a bit and doesn&#039;t go straight up and down.</p><p><br /></p><p>My question is... if you were going to try to sell this, would you cut the paper in two so you were selling two signed sketches?</p><p><br /></p><p>I know the value of a print or painting goes down when the sides are trimmed, but this really does seem like two works of art on the same piece of paper. Even the artist seemed to think so since he didn&#039;t worry about the orientation and signed each drawing individually. This isn&#039;t a modern-style work, either, where the mixed orientations might have been done for effect.</p><p><br /></p><p>So what say ye?</p><p><br /></p><p>(Apologies for not showing the drawings or sharing the artist&#039;s name. Until I decide what to do with this drawing, I&#039;d prefer that it doesn&#039;t show up when people search for his name on the web.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
