ART APPRAISERS:
I recently spoke to a fine gentleman for the last three years, and he told me that a series of art appraisals needs to be filed.
He pointed out that the art in question will be displayed, and the owners would like you to speak with them and other dignitaries in attendance.
The following month, all files were documented, and the government wrote back, speculating that the government wants two independent art appraisals to submit this donation file. I am glad to help.
I presented all the files from the Mishibinijima Art Gallery for paintings that have sold, just to return, and the government requested only sales of Mishibinijima originals in the last eighteen to twenty-four months.
I shared Mishibinijima's incremental pricing and how it began in 1970 and arrived at the age of sixty-five. I gave up on all that and worked with the numbers I was most comfortable with because I can't make this art style any longer because of diabetes, but I have no problem creating native art because of the use of thicker lines.
I presented my recent sale to the art appraiser and must stand by that sales receipt. I wrote $200.00 per square inch on a mishmountain original and had another sales receipt of $100.00 per square inch for native art.
Some or most of my favourite Mishmountain originals are listed at $250.00 per square inch, which I shared with them. I would rather store it away than sell it. Art collectors ask me to reveal certain paintings stored in those art crates.
Resale of any Mishmountain or Native Art by Mishibinijima began at the square inch it was purchased, usually doubled in price, never going down, below the price it was purchased, reflecting vested interests.
I had this vision of selling art back in the 1970s, when some art collectors wanted to purchase at 50/50, just like gallery owners around the world, and I thought, "I'm going to change the way Mishibinijima Art is Purchased, protect the artist, and most importantly, the art collector."
This was a tough road to lead, finding sometimes there is no support in this, but I needed to focus, and today, it's a totally new picture. Mishibinijima is very fortunate that it only took a lifetime to build.
Operating a business in Germany from 1988 to 2002 and conducting art exhibitions all over that country, with art collectors who purchased Mishibinijima art styles, this art appraisal document is terrific news. It sets a standard for Mishibinijima art pricing.
