Colleagues,
After looking for answers, I am going to post this to the list, because
in the past it has been my best source of information. I have three
questions for you:
1- I need to locate the owner of the Dali painting "Meditative Rose". I
know it is in a private collection, but how do I go about finding the
owner? I called the Dali Museum in FL, and the Dali Foundation in Spain
but they do not know. What resources are available for this type of
research?
2- I need to get a copy of the above painting for reproduction purposes.
I have the OK from the Foundation. If I am not able to find the owner of
the work of art, can I use any images of the painting (like getting a
good copy off the web/catalog)? Or do I absolutely need to get the copy
from the owner? (I am thinking about the people who sell prints of the
work, do they need to get permission from the Foundation and the owner?)
2- A patron would like to find out the name of the artist of a work he
owns. The subject is American Indian, dated 1909, oil on canvas with the
initials gsw (the s is larger than the other two letters). Although I do
not provide this type of service I would like to give the patron some
resources where he can look up this information. I do not know where to
start. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you all for your help. You are a wonderful group. And happy
holidays!
