PLEASE FIND ME A GOOD PRINT OF GEORGE DE FOREST'S PAINTING OF "THE
PICTURE WRITER'S STORY"....PART OF ANSHOOT'S (SP?) COLLECTION..  IT
WAS PART OF A SALE AT SOTHEBY'S, NYC ..DEC. 3, 1998 "AMERICAN ART
SALE"

The Masco Collection, indeed, was quite esoteric and another of its
important paintings, "The Picture Writer's Story," lot 80, by George
de Forest Brush, sold for $1,707,500, well over its high estimate of
$1,200,000 and quite a remarkable price for the 23-by-36-inch oil.

It seems that the original piece is owned by The Anschutz Collection.
And I cannot find a print of this painting anywhere but the book at
Amazon.com does say it has pictures from the complete collection. I am
posting a link for the current owner. He does refuse interviews I
don't think you will have much luck contacting him about this
paticular painting. Im sorry I cannot be of more help.

Thanks a lot David; I appreciate your answer a great deal.  Donna Kurtz

I am glad to help with what

I am glad to have helped with what I could. I checked kinkos to see if
you could have them do a poster size of it. But unforunatly they
cannot do it with out prior conesnt from the artist/owner.

Thanks for calling Kinko's.  I sent for the book and I know I cannot
have them enlarge it for me, though if you use a lazer printer there
you can enlarge
certain parts of it and paste them together.
To be honest with you David, a millionaire in Denver, is sending me a
print of that painting and I am doing a reproduction 24x36.... he's
not passing it off
as an original, but it has to be that good.  I've done about 15 paintings like
this for him and put a down payment on a house from it.  I've done
many paintings (reproductions) so that people can cancel their
insurance and put the original in a bank vault.
It helps to have a friend at Kinko's..lol.  Thank you so much David.

I actually have a friend who is a artist I tried to get him to do a
reproduction for me in the past. An yes that is a good point keeping
the originall locked up. And good luck with the painting, I have tried
and my art looks like something a 7 year old did.
