Dear Charles,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil or acrylic paint on canvas with the measurements of 23 x 16 inches. It depicts a globe and the three ships of Christoph Columbus (Santa Maria, Nina, Pinta). This artwork was made after the print by Peter Max with the title "Columbus Quincentennial Subway". It appears to be signed by Peter MAX (1937). The style of the painting appears to be not comparable with the faster and surer brushstroke of Peter Max.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation for an authentic painting by Peter Max would be between 1.000 to 2.000 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 ensured works requires further authentication research. This estimate is provided on the condition of authenticity.
With kind regards,
Georg

Dear Charles,
Thank you for your inquiry about consigning through Mearto. When you submitted your item to us for appraisal, did you select "yes" or "maybe" when you were asked if it was for sale? If so, your item automatically entered a database, which is accessed by a number of regional and international auction houses actively seeking new items for consignment. If there is any interest, they will contact you directly through our platform. You will receive an email notification if one of them makes an inquiry. If you selected "no" when asked if the item was for sale, you can change this so that your item enters the database. Just visit "my collection," select the item, then click the "edit item" button at the top of the page. On the resulting page, click "yes" or "maybe" to answer the question: "Are you looking to sell this item?" Good luck and if there's anything else I can do to help, please just let me know!
With kind regards,
Georg
Okay; I’ll take more photos and get them to you next week.
Thank You
