How can I find more information about Artworks on the internet?

Question

I need to find some information about some illusion art on the internet, but no-one seems interested in helping me at all, and its due in a few days. I'm struggling to find anything by myself. Do you know any famous works that will be easy to find information on? I can't use the same artist more than once, and I have twelve paintings to research!

If you can't help me with that, could you offer me some suggestions on finding information? I've been to the libary, searched the internet with some artists and works and even looked on google scholar. Please help!

Answer 1

Hey Island Girl,

The best way is to look up experts that you can call, email, IM, etc.. They are in the business, and sometimes, if you catch the right one on the right day, willing to help.

Search for Fine Arts Dealers, or Auctions. Here are some sites that I recommend.

Answer 2

For information on artists living or dead, try sites like: "absolutearts.com" or "worldwidearts.com" and type in whatever you have--artist name, type of work, style of work, medium used, size, etc. Is it a print, a painting, a photograph, an original, a print? These things all effect the value, as does the condition. Also type their name in quotes on a search engine like www.dogpile.com "John Doe", and see what comes up.

If the artist is dead, a gallery link might pop up. A gallery dealing with the works or the estate of an artist can give you a lot of useful information, might be able to tell you the value and if there is a market for the work.
