Hi Joanne,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Is this signed by Andrew Wyeth anywhere? The Aaron Ashley collotypes that have sold at auction and brought more than $50-75 have all been signed by Wyeth, and bring a few hundred dollars.
Thanks to advise,
Delia
I apologize, I should have been more clear. That's a signature that in the business we refer to as "in the plate," meaning it is part of the image that Aaron Ashley used to make numerous reproductions. I was hoping this would have had a signature "outside the plate," suggesting that Wyeth himself had handled this.
In light of this, I would catalog this as:
After Andrew Wyeth (American,1917-2009)
Collograph print by Aaron Ashley, Inc.,
"The Olson Farm" (#1202)
on stock paper, 12 by 16 inches
signed in the plate
PROVENANCE: inherited
$20-30*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
Yeah, would have been nice had it been outside the plate. Ah well, the way it goes.
Thank you,
Joanne
