Hello to All,
I'm ready to move on an item I've had stored for a few years to get restored
and auctioned. It is a 40x60 from the 1940s, silkscreen style. In many years
of research I have never found another example and it is from a highly
collected subject of the era.
The need for restoration is significant. It's in 3 pieces, with a relatively
small bit of missing paper at the top center (border, background and part of a
large letter but no artwork missing.) I made one inquiry a few years ago; they
replied that as it is a silkscreen 40x60 in bad condition, it's too much of a
job for them to want to tackle. I was dissuaded for awhile by that reply but I
need to press on and seek the advice of the experts as to where next to go.
Perhaps I overestimate the rarity and desirability of this item but I do not
believe so. It's quite unlike any of the other paper on the subject (often
monochrome and/or photographic) which has seen heavy auction action. Please
let me know if you have any guidance about a restorer who might be willing and
able to take this job. Any help or direction will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Fred Sliman
