Dear Michael,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a mixed media drawing on paper with the measurements of 34 1/2 cm x 25 cm . The drawing depicts an abstract composition and appears to be signed by Hans HARTUNG (1904-1989). The signature shows differences from other signatures of authentified artworks.
Works by this artist were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 10.000 to 20.000 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
Because of the differences to authentified artworks and the high potential value, this artwork requires further authentication research. This estimate is provided on the condition of authenticity.
With kind regards,
George
