I am a fan of Russell Flint and have always wanted to buy one of his paintings.  I am  thinking of buying a Limited Edition Print, that will hopefully increase in price over the years..  Can someone give me some hints and tips? Is it safe to buy these on an auction website, or should I go to a dealer? I can't afford an original !! But would like a signed print if possible - would an unsigned print be worth buying if they are around �75? ?

buy at auction at a reputable auction house,

start by googling something like russell flint auction and seeing what comes up.

The oil paintings are v exp - tens of thousands

the water colours are also v exp, but only if they have someone undressed in it.

Goood luck

ok judie wudie I have just googled that, and got first RF net which are offering RF prints at erm �75

just below that you will get gt west auctions where a russell flint 1947 signed has a guid price of �20 to �25

There is always a mark up in shops and I always buy at auction - because I am not going to sell on my little treasure and the dealers do/have to...which means that the private buyer has a good deal. But you have to know what you;re buying.

In terms of RF - no-one is going to fake an RF.....

I have looked in eBay, and there are lots of signed RFs which sell for around �300, I can't understand how they are so much cheaper than the RF website I looked on, where they are over �1,000. The unsigned ones on the same website are around �75, it seems a big difference, are they legit?   A lot of the RFs on the eBay sites are also being sold by dealers, when you look into them. Would the cheaper ones be worth buying at �300? or even �75?  I know I am buying them just because I love them, but of course I don't want to buy a fake.

Also what would be the best way to find a local auction house to buy RFs?  And how would I know a rough value? Sorry, I am a novice!
