Hi Folks, I’m looking for some help/advice from the collective wisdom here on AH. I have a beautiful piece of art that belongs to my sister’s estate and I am hoping to get some advice on what the value may be. I intend to post it initially in the AH classifieds but I have no idea where to even start with an asking price. I have attempted to contact Mr. Hacking with no luck. Please take a look at the pics attached below.
Here’s some basic info and a short bio of the artist. Many of you may be familiar with him from some features in Gray’s Sporting Journal and elsewhere.
Artist - Grant Hacking
South African born artist, Grant Hacking specializes in North American and African big game. Growing up in South Africa provided Grant with the unique ability to authentically portray the richness and vastness of the varied African landscape and wildlife. Grant’s passion for painting started early in life growing up in a household with parents who were both professional artists. Grant now resides in New England and previously lived in Charleston, SC providing bountiful inspiration for North American portrayals of wildlife and land and seascapes. Grant’s paintings can be found internationally in museums and in the private collections of business executives, celebrities, politicians, artists, and the everyday art appreciator.
Grant is the official artist of International Wildlife Crime Stoppers helping to raise awareness and funds for the prevention of poaching. Honors at SEWE include: Winner of the 2018 Editor’s Choice Award presented by American and Western Art Collector, Featured Artist 2015, Best of Show 1st Place Two Dimensional, Best of Show 1st Runner-Up, VIP Choice 1st Place Two Dimensional, VIP 2nd Place Two Dimensional.
This piece of art is 30”x40” Oil on Canvas. It is an original, 01 of 01 and is marked as such. It was commissioned in 2008 and completed in 2009.
The name of the piece is: Calling to the Valley
Any advice you have to offer is welcome and appreciated.
Thanks!
Dan
