Except I actually didn't out of the habit of scanning before reading.
Damn bro. You know a lot about art? I've been trying to find the name of a what I assumed to be a Vietnamese painter named Chien.Somebody will try this and get hammered by the state.
Art is a commodity so declaring its worth is only one part. Rarity, the artist's method and the artist's standing in historic methods of production. The artist's oeuvre is also a big factor in the price.
Who would I call to find more information on these? BGOL is the shit
At a garage sale last year I came across a guy down the street from me selling paintings that were in his dad's basement after his dad died.
His dad in Vietnam, so these paintings, all by the same artist, Chien, are a minimum of 50 years old. I bought them for $9 a piece.
I've tried, but haven't found anyone who knows about the artist, so any help anyone can offer would help. Any Vietnam Art History majors on here?

Man, even Sotheby's had no clue. I'll keep looking. Looks real nice in the house, tooSorry my man, I was curious about the price and I googled how they set prices. BTW, that art looks pretty good.![]()
