I come in an antique vase painted by "Ali Jaffer," Does anyone know the history painter?
I am looking for history, or perhaps where I can find out more about him.
For more information on artists living or dead, try sites like: "absolutearts.com" or "worldwidearts.com" and type what you have – artist name, type of work, work style, medium, size, etc. Is this a print, painting, photographs, original printing? These things all effect the value, as the condition. Also type the name in quotes on a search engine like www.dogpile.com "John Doe" and see what comes up. If the artist is dead, a link would pop up gallery. A gallery dealing with the work or the estate of an artist can give you much useful information, may be able to communicate the price and there is a market for work.
