Depending on value. either E-bay or an auction.

If it is truly a 20K piece of work then auction is the only real means for you to get what it is worth. YOu have to pay them their vigourish..on this level I would say 5% is about what you could fight for and expect. They are going to make 15% on the buyer.

You have to listen to them when they appraise it for and auction value.

Bonhams on Sunset and Morans in Altadena are the 2 prime houses in LA...Morans is more CA art orientated.

If the piece is worth in the 2K to 3K range or less e-bay is your best bet.

One thing to consider when buying art, a Gallery charges retail, the real value is 1/2 of what a Gallery charges...so if ya paid 20K it really is only worth 10K and at auction you probably would get a bit less then that.

One other alternative is to place it on consgnment with a Gallery, but I would want to see how long they have been around so that they just don't pack u one night and disappear with your piece of art. This is gona cost ya about 20% of sale price.

Is you piece a PRINT or a LiTHOGRAPH?
