Contemporary Art/unknown artist

Question
a friend of mine recently passed away and left me some prints. I ahve never heard of the artist, Eulalie Van Geert
& S. Wang & Elizabeth King Brownd. Do you haven any info?

Answer
It would be helpful to know what kind of prints they are.  Could they be posters (ie., printed on a commercial press)?

Eulalie van Geert seems to be associated with flowers.  I would suspect that the print you have may be floral, maybe not.  I can find no information at all about her as an artist.

S. Wang shows up as Dan S. Wang.  (Wang is a very popular name.)
I think he is active in the Portland area, but he lives and works in Chicago. You might send him an e-mail to pin this down.  Here's is Dan S. Wang's e-mail address:  danwang@mindspring.com

Elizabeth King Brownd is much easier.  She has on the market thousands of posters (usually under $20). Her framed prints go from $120 to maybe over $300 for a very popular print.

Here is an URL that you can access to see a lot of her prints and the prices:

I really hope that I have been of some help to you.

Best of luck with your prints.
