I just came into an antique vase painted by "Jaffer Ali," does anyone know history of this painter?
I am looking for his history, or maybe where I can find out more about him.
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.
