Re: vera lutter pieces on eBay

Thanks for the reference Eric,
Notice that the estimated value of the work is indicated as $50,000 -
$70,000.
Considering her reputation, this is fair market value.
Some of my giant pinhole work has sold in the 4-digit but I don't produce on
the same scale as she does and she obviously has an excellent agent.
It does suggest that if you upgrade to the status of artist and that you are
good at promoting your work in the realm of the Arts World, you can get some
rather interesting value for your work.
Many try, few succeed.
Best regards,
Guy Glorieux
