About Dan Twyman
Expertise

I can answer questions about Salvador Dali. While I cannot do FREE APPRAISALS, I might be able to help you sell your works. I can also help with Chagall, Miro, Picasso and other 20th Century Masters.

Please do not give me a bad rating if I don't have info on your unknown artists works, as that makes no sense.) Questions about a type of art or medium can be answered with one response in most cases. Technical issues are easier to deal with than specifics about an artist. If you need help finding values or history on an artist, it will probably involve research that can sometimes take hours to complete. If you have more than one image to send, I will give you an alternate email address as this system cannot handle multiple images.

Fine Art - Chagall Lithographs

Expert: Dan Twyman - 11/2/2009

Question
Dear Sir:
I have an opportunity to purchase two Chagall lithographs. Both are from the Bible Series (Old Testament). One is of the prophet Jeremiah and and the other is of David and Absalom. They are unsigned and said to be in mint condition. Could you tell me how to ascertain their quality and if the price is a fair one? (Both have been reduced to $1300.00 each.) I have not purchased lithographs in the past so this is a new experience. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Answer
If your going to spend the $$, you might want to go after art with signatures. While hand signed works sell at a much higher price, the un-signed prints were taken from a book of prints. The original idea was to keep the book in tact. I do not sell un-signed works. The last master of the 20th Century was Salvador Dali. It might make sense to look at hand signed work by Dali.

I have been pointing collectors in the right direction for many years now. You can call me at:
