artworkiceland Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Hello, I hope this post is ok here. Please delete if not.In short, I need some help were to turn to regarding selling a painting in France. The backstory is that a friend of mine has asked me to help with selling a few of his paintings. He asks me because I have met a lot of people over the years in my work and should know were to turn, true for some of the paintings but not this one. I have googled quite a bit but it's hard finding something in english. What I've found so far are mostly online resources for upcoming artists in France and some online auctionhouses (worldwide), then I found this forum by chance and decided to post. I hope someone here can help me, I won't go into much further detail of the piece in question in public.thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Where abouts, roughly, are you geographically ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artworkiceland Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 I am in Iceland but the painting 'is' french or will have the most value in France. We would obviously be coming over in person doing the deal unless it ends up in a museum in which case they usually send someone over. Thank you for the reply.ps. this is a postmodern painting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pommier Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I'd try to sell it on Ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artworkiceland Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 I've looked into it (ebay) but with this artist, what I've seen it's mainly much smaller pieces and posters. This is more high profile, large-ish (98x82 i think) painting from the early 70's. What I'd be looking for really a list of galleries that would be selling bigger postmoderinistic pieces from that era. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
