This is a bias-relief 19 x 24 1/2 inch print. It is a 'Sample' poster print from Andy Lakey to announce his wall 3D paintings. Signed 'Sample', and framed in a poster frame.
As a dealer for Andy Lakey paintings and wearable jewelry, this item was a promotional sample for his work. It is my understanding the Andy Lakey art is extremely collectible, especially in Japan.
Hello Budd,
Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. I apologize for the delay in your appraisal and thank you for your patience. The item presented appears to be a mixed media work by Andy (Markivich) Lakey (1959 - 2012). The piece depicts an abstract figure inside a star, surrounded by decorative elements. Lakey is known as the "painter of angels." The work does not appear to be signed or dated. However, it appears to date to the 1990s. The inscription "sample" may indicate the image as a proof intended for publishing as a limited edition. The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of other comparable mixed media works by Lakey, with similar size and image. The estimate is contingent on a full condition report. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care. Happy New Year.
