Richard Akerman

[Pappyuk]

Hi, does anybody know what an original Richard Akerman painting would be worth. I have searched all over the web and even contacted Christies and Bonhams with no luck? Many thanks

Hi

Many thanks - I have seen this before, but I don't think this can be him as it says that he was born in 1900, but he only died in 2005 and was in his 50s I think? Although I am sure that there cannot be two Richard Akerman's - oh I am confused!

[Pappyuk]

Thanks for that.

Hi.... interested in your question regarding value of an Akerman original because I too have an original painting by Akerman bought from the man himself on the Bayswater rd in 1972 ! I also have been trying to put a value on it with similar results to yourself......if you do find someone who can value your painting I would appreciate if you could pass the info on! and I will do the same If come up with anything !

I will let you know if I find out anything - what is your email - perhaps we could exchange pictures of the pictures - if you know what I mean.

Many thanks.

Sorry for butting in but are you the same PappyUK that posted a question about the lyrics to Captain Rock here three years ago because I just answerd it. You may want to take a look ?

I've also got an original Richard Akerman painting, bought in 1979. It's quite large, on canvas - a red/orangy/black landscape of trees and water with a small house, and signed. Thought it was wonderful when I bought it for the grand sum of �65 back then!

Have been wondering about the value for a while, and have made some attempts with no joy. Would be really interested if you manage to find any information, and will likewise let you know if I manage to find anything out.

hey, i met richard in 2003, back then he said that if it is a canvas what you need to look at is the frame, a later 1 could be about 20-80 pounds, if it is his earlier work then it will have a handmade frame and that will be worth alot more, can't say how much im afraid. i have one of his bout for 25p from a carboot sale, when we met him he said that it was in a handmade frame and could be worth quite alot!!!
if your still wanting it valued there are certain criteria about the handmade frame that can identify them!

Thanks Georgina. It is actually in a frame made by a frame makers so it must be a newer one I suspect?
