What is a print?
It is a mechanically produced
picture, generally controlled by the artist using the original
as a base. Some prints
are done under supervision in limited editions and signed and
numbered by the artist. You may find them in Modern Artworks,
but not the other three subdivisions of this website.
I've heard of reproductions.
Are they potentially valuable artworks?
No. In my opinion they are not
even artworks at all.
What is the cost of shipping?
It depends on the weight of the
picture, glass, frame and packing plus the distance it is
going. Insurance must also be taken into account but is not
very expensive as most freight companies back themselves not
to lose the item. Until 31st December 2006 I am going to cover all
shipping costs within Australia so I can become conversant
with them. For overseas I will be looking for the best and
cheapest way. Overseas buyers will of course receive a
shipping co. receipt.
How long will it take to ship my painting?
The freight co. would know more
about that than me, but I will endeavour to have it ready to
go by the time your payment is cleared.
If these paintings are part
or all of your collection, why are you selling them?
I've been collecting them for 40
years, and art has been my life. I am also a framer.
Are they all on the yestergallery website now?
No.
How many more have you got?
I still have quite a large
collection. I bought the first one at auction in 1963 and have
been on the hunt ever since. I still have it and can't really
see a time when I won't be searching for my next exciting
purchase. Once a hunter and gatherer always a hunter and
gatherer.
Is there anyway the local and overseas shipping costs can
be made cheaper?
Yes. I can remove the glass and
frame which are quite heavy, and send the picture
between two sheets of 3 ply
and cardboard. It will be cheaper for you, but you will then
have the extra problem and cost of reframing at your end.
Might be cheaper in the long run to accept the whole package.
I'll find out.
How can I tell the total size
of my picture including frame?
Add about 300mm {1foot} to the
vertical and horizontal measurements of the image.
Why are the prices so different?
Some are large and some are
small. Artist's have reputations and some demand, so their
work may be scarce. Quality of frame and painting may be
important. The Law of Supply and Demand operates.
