What does this mean?

Dear Richard,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The presented object appears to be a painting on canvas with the measurements of 21.5 in by 17.5 inches. The artwork depicts a style and motif which reminds of the famous artist Jean-Michel BASQUIAT (1960-1988). The style, the quality of the composition, and the handwriting differ from authenticated artworks by Jean-Michel BASQUIAT (1960-1988).
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.
An estimation for an authentic work in this size and motif would be between 4.000.000 to 6.000.000 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.

Because of these differences to ensured pieces and the high potential value, this piece needs further authentication and research. This estimate is provided on the condition of authenticity.

With kind regards,
Georg
