It was said to be oil/acrylic on canvas. He is known to mix. The painting is an abstract done in 2008. He is a well known artist, fetching top dollar for his current paintings. It is approximately 4'x3', but I have not pulled it out of the packing material to confirm. The shipper applied the measurements.

Hi Kimberly,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The artist does not yet have a body of work on the secondary market (auction, which are the values Mearto gives); in this instance, we look at retail pricing at galleries and use an industry multiplier with fair market values being worth 1/3-1/2 of what galleries are asking. Works of this size are priced in the $10,000-15,000 range, which would give this a fair-market value of $3,000-5,000
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
Kiril Jeliazkov (Bulgaria / America, born 1977)
Untitled Abstract, 2008
oil and acrylic on canvas
approximately 48 by 36 inches
$3,000-5,000*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
It is canvas
Thanks, Kimberly, you're all set.
Delia, I'm not sure I know the difference between oil and acrylic, but it was posted as oil/acrylic which is something Kiril is known to do.
