Without a body of auction records - or gallery sales - I've priced this along the lines of other works by contemporary artists of similar size, medium and age. Keep in mind that the prices Mearto evaluates at are for Fair Market / auction purposes, which are usually/often (quite a bit) lower than gallery/retail values.
Hi Delia,
Thanks for the quick follow-up. My previous works have been direct sales to a few businesses near me and to my friends. I currently do not have a gallery representation, but is actively working with Zenith Gallery in Washington DC for a representation.
Regards, Sal
