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 - miro lithograph

Expert: Dan Twyman - 11/4/2009

Question

QUESTION: Hi,

I am currently in the process of acquiring a miro lithograph,hand signed,from edition (XI/XII).

I was wondering if such a piece is seen as a good investment.

Many thanks.

ANSWER: The issue is authenticity. You cannot accept the word of the seller, it needs to be examined by an outside expert. You do not want to find out 20 years from now that you have a fake.

Currently, Miro works are being printed without permission. Digital prints on canvas and paper.

Once you are convinced it is authentic, then we can talk about prices and values.

QUESTION: Hi Dan,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I have attached an image. I bought it on Ebay, and of course I don't have the paperwork yet, as I need it finalise payment. Are there any tell tale signs i need to look out for if it is a fake? They valued it at around 3700, but i am paying a lot less.

Cheers.

Answer
I see printed text on the piece. I can't really see details. There are some out there that sell signatures on posters and try to imply the artist made the print himself. There are no original lithographs by Miro that sell for that low of a price? There are a few red flags here.
