Original Oil
How do I find a buyer for my original oil painting?
I have an original oil painting and would like to know the steps I should take to find a buyer for it. Is it a good idea to have it appraised first and if so how do I find an appraiser?
If the piece is signed by the artist, check online for an art gallery that represents the artist. Contact them and see if they offer appraisals. If they are local, they will want to see the piece in person. If they are not local, they will be looking for a title, date, size and photographs of the painting, including a close up of the signature and the backing. Ask them about resale options as they may be interested in consignment of the piece or a direct purchase.
If you do not have the name of the artist, call around to some local art galleries to set up an appointment to have the painting looked at. Many reputable galleries have, or can suggest, a certified appraiser that can give you more direction on the piece and places that may be interested in purchasing it.
Just a side note, an appraisal is not necessary but will give you a good idea of what your asking price should be.
Good luck.
