A public auction is not always the best path. Some sellers want maximum exposure. Others prefer discretion, price control, and a targeted private sale. Modern Artifact can help evaluate those options before a work is publicly offered.

If you own an Alex Katz work and are considering selling, the first step is understanding what you have, how the work fits into the current market, and which sale path makes the most sense. A signed lithograph, an original painting, a shaped cut-out, and a large-scale editioned print all require different review criteria.

The Bob Ross art market is robust, with 18" × 24" landscapes fetching mid to high-five-figure prices, and rare episode paintings commanding millions. Recent sales include two landscapes at Bonhams for $114,800 and $95,750, and others at Goldin for $105,530 and $93,940. Factors like composition, condition, provenance, and Bob Ross Inc COA boost value. Now is a good time to sell due to strong demand and limited supply. Modern Artifact offers immediate cash offers or consignment to maximize returns, avoiding high auction fees. Contact support@modernartifact.com for a free valuation.
