J. Windsor cityscape
Recently bought this item and I am wondering about it’s value. It had lights on some of the tips of the buildings and it had thick texture on some of the buildings, roads, clouds. It’s an actual oil painting with signature.
Mid century
Inherited
Maybe
Hi Jerry,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. So that I may best assist you, can you please let me know the size (height and width) of this painting?
Thanks very much,
Delia
Thanks, Jerry, for the dimensions.
Not much is known about the artist - he (or she) isn't listed in the major artist databases and there have only been a couple of auction sales of his (or her) work, all of which have been fairly modest (less than $500) and all for enhanced silkscreen prints. Original works are often several times more valuable than prints or multiples so assuming this is an original acrylic on canvas, it would be catalogued and valued as follows:
J. Windsor (American, 20th Century)
"United Nations"
acrylic on canvas
20 inches high by 60 inches wide
signed and titled lower right
PROVENANCE: inherited
$1,500-2,500*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
Thank you very much for the insight. Any suggestions where I might be able to get an in person appraisal here in Southern California?
Now you said it has to be on canvas to be an actual? This one is on hardboard and it’s not a print. I have others from that time and are prints on hardboard.
Good morning, Jerry,
Any auction house in Los Angeles should be willing to give you a free appraisal.
It does NOT need to be on canvas to be authentic or original; artists painted on Masonite, artist board or wood panels.
Let us know if you have additional questions - we're happy to help however we can.
Yes of course, it’s 5 feet wide by 20” inches in height.
