What is the value of a hummel figurine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I bought one in an antique shop in Budapest a couple of months ago. It was priced 200 euros but I got it for 160. At the time I didn't know anything about Hummels, I now think it might be a copy because there is no Goebel mark on the base, just the number 82.0 incised and the letter C in red. The certificate that came with it said it dated from 1934 to 1950 but I doubt it.

What is the overarching question you should keep in mind when carrying out all four steps of an art critique?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The best approach is to ask how the work relates to life, while keeping an open mind. The description and analyzation will have a concrete meaning, but the interpretation and judgment will be easier to accomplish while thinking about life. Thus, the work relates to life as the artist knows it and also as you perceive it. All art will have intrinsic worth as an inseparable part of life and its various creative expressions.

Because I don't know what painting you specifically mean, all I can say is that the value of small edition prints generally rise about 20% each year from the time of your purchase of the painting.

What is the value of a mid 40's Japanese silk painting?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As with all art, the value is both intrinsic and dependent on the 'ask' and 'bid.' Much of the art stated to be from the mid 1940s was, in fact, created in the 1950s to meet the demand of American buyers so It is best to check with a reputable art appraisal firm before offering to purchase expensive artwork. Some of the 1950s art is quite good, often better than earlier works that have limited subject matter. Again, the value depends on the purchaser's taste. Generally, though, the kind of art work normally found from these eras is worth between $5 and $75 depending on condition. There should be some wear and fragility, for the paintings are a half century old or older. Few of the silk painting artist went on to great reknown although there are exceptions. Unless you are able to read Japanese 'hanko,' or signature seals, it is sometimes difficult to ascertain the artist's name. Again, reputable art appraisal firms are an absolute necessity for the truly valuable paintings. Most silk paintings are NOT valuable although they can be quite beautiful and worthy of purchase. Ukiyo-e, woodblock prints from the 1930s to 1950s by Hasui Kawase, Koitsu Tsuchiya, Yoshida Toshi and a few others are, generally, much more valuable and intrinsically more beautiful and aesthetically pleasing.

How do you fix cloudy water in a snow globe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You will need a container, which can be as simple as a water-tight lidded jar, or as elaborate as a snow-globe making kit, with the traditional glass ball, plug and base.

You can make "snow" by crushing egg shells, or choose a white/black/silver or gold confetti or sparkles at a hobby store.

If you are using the lidded jar, after you assemble the design (which must be waterproof), put some waterproof glue or a light beading of clear caulk on the threads of the jar lid, and close it quickly before the glue/caulk dries. You may wish to design the snow globe so that the base is the lid, in which case you will build your design on the inside of the lid and let the glue dry completely before putting in liquid (upside down of course.)

A kit to make a snow globe will have specific instructions to assist.

How do you find out if you have an original de Grazia painting?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I have been to the museum in Tucson, AZ, off Swan (name of street). Call them and see if they can help. I have many many DeGrazia prints, two personally signed by him in January, 1979, while my daughter and I were sitting outside talking to him. I wish I could find out the value of these. He was a sweet man, so talented, and down to earth, making himself available to anyone who wanted to visit and talk with him. We chatted about 20 minutes.

How do you sign painting copied from a master painter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If your work would be considered a derivative work of another, you would need their permission, and the agreement would spell out how copyright would be assigned.

If your work is simply in the style of another, it's still your work.

But you still might like to sign it as "XYZ, after ABC"

What is value of a Richard Timm Duck's Unlimited 50th Anniversary print?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When introduced in 1987 DUC thought they would get $10,000 for one volume. Base on 44 signed prints ranging from $100 to $500 each. It never happened and they sold for between $2,050 - $3,000. I have seen them sold on eBay between $2000-$4000. I have also seen individual prints from that book sell $50-$150.

How can you remove candle wax from an oil painting?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the oil painting has dried completely or is varnished (has a sheen to it), and the crayon mark isn't too large, wiping it with a soft warm damp cloth that has a drop or two of Murphy's oil soap on it could get it off. Crayon is wax and once an oil painting/varnish has dried, it is a pretty tough surface, so you might also try blotting the crayon with a soft cloth that has been soaked in really hot water, and then scraping the softened crayon off with your fingernail.
