Hope this is in the right thread. Honestly can't remember since I was interrupted mid post. Need some advice guys. May be selling my first ever piece. Not just the first piece I'd be selling but the first original I ever bought from an established artist. It's not urban art related so sure no one would be interested but I was hoping for some advice. It's acrylic on "found canvas"(thrift store painting) by Anthony Ausgang called Weekend Warrior. Easily googled if that helps w/ advice. Potentially selling it because A. School bills are piling up & B. The Mrs hates it. And in her defense I bought it w/ my daughter in mind & it goes w/ nothing else I own. Question is this... I contacted a gallery that has a nice collection of his works ranging from $900-$5000+ asking their advice on value & potential sales ideas. I was told a good selling price for that piece is between $800-$1000. Of course they offered $400 if I wanted to sell to them. Any advice guys? Is less than half normal? Any forums you guys know of that specialize in that genre? Of course the $400 would help but I'd love to make a little more to stick in the bank & reinvest in a piece or two. Thanks for any help guys!!
