Art with real market value has evidence behind it. Artist attribution, medium, date, provenance, exhibition history, edition details, condition, and market evidence matter more than decorative appeal alone.
Separate decorative from collectible
A work can be visually appealing and still have limited resale value. Collectible value usually requires an identifiable artist, school, period, subject, medium, or buyer base.
Check originality and documentation
Signatures, labels, invoices, gallery records, certificates, and estate history should be photographed and verified. Weak documentation should be described honestly.
Compare the right market
Use sold works by the same artist or close market peers in similar medium, size, subject, date, and condition. Asking prices are not enough.
