Title: New york Stock Exchange artwork
Post by: Eastcoast386 on October 23, 2013, 01:40:35 PM
Found this is a unit early today. Not sure if there is any value. Or just another reprint someone hangs in there house. Any input would be appreciated.

I couldn't tell you what it's worth, perhaps someone else on the forum has experience valuing art. What I can tell you is, even if it has little value, it's a really nice piece. I would put it in my home.

I think it's a reproduction. About $25-$30. He also did Grand Central Station, Ellis Island and other New York City landmarks.

The edges look too perfectly aged to be original. Also has the same patina throughout the paper. Looks much like his other reproductions out for sale now. The advantage to this piece is that it's the NY Stock Exchange, which I don't see available online. The disadvantage is, it's the New York Stock Exchange, market won't be as big as Grand Central Station or Ellis Island.

Agree with HomeGrown.

The smaller ones go for $10.   That size for $27-ish.   Unframed - tho framed art is like Rims or stereo's in cars.  You never get your money back.  Ups it a bit, helps sell but......
This place sells framed at $140:

Being framed I'd ask at least $40 to start, probably $50, but take $25.   Below $25 I'd rather just hang it up.  I'm into that sort of stuff.
