Art appraisals/valuations?

$84 absolutely everything!

Thanks for the input, ruggeddriver64 🤷 Does anyone else have a take on this? Seriously, I need more perspectives here. Please! 🙏

Alright—so who actually built this, when did it go down, and how much is leaking?

Daniel Morris13 said:Hey everyone, I was wondering if you could help me out with a quick appraisal on this sculpture—it’s bronze and weighs about 11 pounds including the base. Any insight at all would be massively appreciated, thanks in advance! Also, if anyone has tips on where I might actually be able to sell something like this, please let me know. 😍

Look, value is almost entirely dependent on who made it and how big it is. Since we're talking bronze here, there really ought to be a signature or some info etched into the base. I'm definitely no expert—don't call me a connoisseur unless you want a lecture—but the style honestly reminds me a bit of Kosta Radovan. As for how many casts were made? Usually, if there are only three, you're looking at a real original.

So, yeah, it's listed as Mate Čvrljak, born in '82—honestly, I've only got this one single impression to go on 😍 I think it stands about 10 inches tall. Thanks so much for the help, everyone; I managed to dig up some info online, but apparently, nobody's buying them right now, so my only move is maybe putting it up for auction, though I’m honestly sitting here scratching my head wondering what the smartest play actually is. Any thoughts? 🤷

we don't have any 🤷

It’s definitely not just about $83, as some jokester once said. I mean, five kilos of bronze alone would cost more than that.
Value is really just whatever you can talk someone into paying. Take a stroll through the local galleries or do a little digging online; you’ll quickly realize there isn't much logic to how these things are priced.
I’d start the asking price at $833. Don't go any lower—it is bronze, after all, and while the sculptor isn't exactly a household name, they certainly aren't some nobody either.

Look, the guy’s still kicking, so you could always go ask him if he’d be willing to sell his work at a discount...

Hey there,

Does anyone happen to know what a print by that academic painter Kosta Angeli Radovani might be worth? It’s a piece from '75, showing his typical female nudes, but there are four women in this specific one.

So I’m working on this old building, and things have already started hitting the curb. I caught a glimpse of this piece and thought, hey, this looks pretty vintage and might actually be worth something. It honestly breaks my heart seeing good old stuff tossed out just because people don't know any better. Anyway, WHAT IS THIS THING? My best guess is some kind of photography gear...


The only letters visible on the piece are: reichert wien

PS: I posted the exact same question over on a photography forum too. Hope that's not breaking any rules here😕?

Send an inquiry to http://www.reichertai.com/contact.html. It’s clearly some kind of optical instrument that would pique their interest, especially considering they used to manufacture them back in the day. Based on what they've published, they've been around for just over a century.

I tracked down where their microscope is listed here. The price isn't half bad, right? 😍

Look, it doesn't really work that way. It’s never quite that simple.
Look, if you're serious about evaluating the work of Vajara Radovani Koste—or really anyone in that caliber of art—you can't just take someone's word for it. You have to do your own due diligence. You need to go straight to the source: check the major auction houses, browse their specific online portals, or dive into specialized art exchanges. That’s the only way to get a real sense of the market value and see where the actual numbers are landing.
It’s interesting to watch the disconnect between how our local experts view things versus how international analysts weigh them in. When you look at the domestic crowd, the commentary tends to be deeply emotional and reactionary. It’s often driven by immediate sentiment—either intense patriotism or a very specific kind of localized cynicism. People here tend to judge based on how much they personally feel a situation affects their own backyard or their sense of national pride. It’s visceral, often loud, and usually lacks a broader context because the focus is so tightly wound around what’s happening right here at home. International agents and global analysts, on the other hand, operate on a completely different wavelength. They aren't looking at us through a lens of emotion; they see us as data points within a larger geopolitical or economic machine. To them, we are part of a trend, a variable in a formula, or a strategic piece on a much larger chessboard. Their assessments are colder, more clinical, and heavily influenced by how our actions affect global markets or international stability. While the locals are arguing about the "soul" of the issue, the foreign observers are calculating the risk, the ROI, and the long-term structural impact. One side sees the heart; the other sees the math. And usually, neither side is seeing the full picture.

Watch your step out there. The whole world has become incredibly fragmented lately, and unfortunately, that volatility extends straight to the markets. Prices are all over the map, shifting constantly based on how much noise is being made in any given sector. It’s a chaotic landscape where nothing stays steady for long.

Hey there. Just dropping in.🙂

Greetings!

I have some old pieces gathering dust at my place, things like an antique horse-drawn wagon, a yoke, and similar items—all roughly 45 to 50 years old. A gentleman has expressed interest in purchasing the whole lot from me. Does anyone here happen to have any insight into what one might realistically expect to get for such antiques?

I want to email someone two or three photos of this mess so they can actually see what I'm dealing with. If anyone is able to help me out, please reach out at ivo_broc@yahoo.com

Thanks.

check out this site... auction house 'Kontura' does appraisals here..... good luck 🙂

lol......whatever🤣

Oil on canvas. It’s over 40 years old, I believe. Even after all this time, the signature remains in pristine condition.

I don't believe for a second that's an oil painting. It's just some worthless oleograph—seriously. You can find stuff like this at auction sites for anywhere from $1 up to $33, so you tell me what you want to do with that.

🤮
No.
I ended up with a cavity—right there on the bottom left, just barely out of view from the main inspection of this marvel.

Thanks in advance for the help here, I'm basically just trying to figure out what kind of cash a painting like this might actually pull in. 👍 Any extra info you guys can throw my way would be awesome, too. It’s a piece by Želimir Drakulić Mrsinjac, depicting Bedek Castle, and the dimensions are roughly 62x52.
