Are you wanting to know whether a painting passed through your family is worth a fortune? How could a canvas simply covered in paint be worth millions? Are you looking to invest in a piece of art? Here are some key factors to whether a painting would be considered valuable
- Authenticity
Is the painting cheap or expensive? An authentic piece of art will always be worth more than a copy.
- Condition
If the painting has a tear through it, forget about it. Tears and sun damage can affect a painting’s value. A painting’s condition is important to determine the price.
- Popularity
Do you have a painting from a popular artist? If so, this creates demand. If they are unknown, there will be less demand leading to less value.
- Medium
The medium is important, as it can determine authenticity. A canvas will sell for more than if it was on paper.
Are you sitting on an artwork by Jackson Pollock? Do you think one of your artworks could be worth a lot? If you think your piece of art is valuable, confirm by taking it for an art appraisal.
