Dear Rob,

Thank you for choosing Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The appraised item appears to be a framed original print by the Greek/American artist Euripides "Rip" Kastaris. It is titled 'Alpha' and signed at the bottom right and is housed in a gold frame.
This is a limited edition 30/43. The frame itself measures: 28 x 33 inches and this work appears to be in excellent condition.

Known for his re-interpretations of icons and Ancient Greek imagery Kastaris has done a series of similar images fusing themes and ideas of antiquity with contemporary forms.

This artist’s work is regularly offered and sold on the international and the national art market. The estimation in red above is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary. The subject work’s size, the medium, the composition, condition (based on photographs and comments provided), were taken into consideration when determining the estimate.

Best regards,

Karine
