My Uncle Jim gave me this. It’s called “The First Hundred Years,” by Neil Boyle. I’m trying to figure out what it’s worth.
It’s got two certificates of authenticity, One stating that the mixed-media piece is an Artist’s proof, numbered at 86/100, and that it was printed in March 1986.
The other certificate states that the piece uses gold leaf that was removed from the Statue of Liberty during it’s 1982-1992 restoration.
I can find little on the artist online, and only a couple examples of what his work has sold for. The piece is quite large at 17¼” x 35″, not including the frame. Anyone know where to get something like this appraised?
I have the 49/100 of the same art.. if you got an answer please let me know.
Thank you
Thank you for commenting. I will let you know!
Carlos, would you be willing to split the cost of an appraisal?
I have 89 of the same piece and have been trying to find the artist to purchase another. If you find any info, I’d appreciate hearing.
Thanks
Sure thing. Linda, would you be interested in sharing the cost of an appraisal?
If this website is representing the same Neil Boyle, then it seems he died in 2006.

i just received the same painting as a gift, did you ever find out its value?
I haven’t. All the appraisers I’ve spoken to or e-mailed have been pretentious jerks who don’t seem to want my business.
So I also have a friend who has one, I did a little search & someone in LA has one for sale on Craig’s List for $350.
Hope that helps!

Thank you much! I contacted them and asked if they had it appraised but received no response. 🙁
