I have one but I can’t find a picture online and it has 345/1000 on it next to the signature and I don’t see that on the ones on this picture, though the frame does say made in Mexico.
I have three H. Hargrove paintings a roommate of mine was going to get rid of (she's cleaning out a bunch of old stuff and isn't even looking at half of it as she tosses it) and I snagged them since I paint, and WAS going to paint over them... on a whim I looked up the artist and realized the value they can go for... All three have stickers on the backs with a number of some kind, as though they came through an auction. If you tilt them in the light, the outlines are all slightly raised, and on the largest one, the clouds are also a raised texture above the sky. There are different sheens on different parts of the paintings as well- the browns in a barn rooftop, door and on a tree trunk are much glossier and different texture to the rest. One of the paintings even seems to have been cut down from a larger size, as the paint (or printing, idk) goes all the way to the edge of the canvas on the back, while the other two it stops just after the edge on the sides. I have NO idea how to tell if these are just a very high quality Serigraph or what... would love some input on if Serigraphs can have this kind of texturing on them, and different sheens.
I am currently waiting for mine to be appraised. I was told by an art collector a few days ago that you can tell the difference of Mr. Hargrove paintings/sirgraphs by the size of them. All of his paintings are 20x24 without the frame and that the paint should be raised up off the canvas. He stated that the Sirigraphs have have very little to no raise of the canvas whatsoever. But the size of the sirigraphs are 11 1/4 by 11 1/4.
To me, serigraphs are in a league of their own, especially nowadays. Yes, they are not the original piece of artwork, but they are still handmade, as opposed to a print. Human hands made these, and that is special
My thanks, appreciation and respect to you. I wish you permanent happiness, success and progress in your wonderful work. Health and safety to you all, with my sincere thanks and respect. Greetings.
So I also have quite a few of his artwork passed down from my mom. I am pretty sure that they aren't originals. Although the quality of work and the pictures are very nice they are just not my thing. I see you said get an appraiser but I don't know the first place to start in my area. Anyone have any advice? Just to throw it out there I'm far south suburbs of Chicago close to Indiana. Thanks in advance.
I purchased one at a thrift store a couple of days ago for $1.79. Here's the catch. It has a signature on the back of it with a date 1985 on part of the canvas flap that also says Lee Anderson I think? and also says Charles E. Tyler Jr. When I went to look this up some of his other paintings people have posted the same thing and say its original at antiques auctions. Any clue as to what the signature would be?
I learned that a lot of the serigraphs were made and then hand-detailed by students of his, so it could be a serigraph that he oversaw the production and detailing of, hence his name being on it, but also the name of someone else (one of the students).
Are any of his real paintings signed with just "Hargrove" (versus H.Hargrove)? Or... with the top line on the E extended (versus the bottom line)? We have one with those signature characteristics and are suspecting it's an imitation.
Hello I have had a painting of Hargrove for over 8yrs and have been told several times tht I should have it checked out, bcuz it appears to be an original... How do I go about finding more info on this painting to see if it is one of his originals?
Take it to someone who specializes in art appraisals. If you don't know who originally bought it or the history, you very likely have a serigraph. They look just like an original, right down to having the feel.
Nobody is trying to fool anybody by creating serigraphs. These are hand pulled prints, limited edition. Not necessary for there to be an "original." Jeez! Hand pulled prints, including etchings, and woodcuts, are not there to trick anybody. They are in a media category of their own.
My parents in the 80's had an art show of Hargroves paintings. I remember the frames my parents picked out. Yuck! I love my Hargrove paintings. My parents friends and family was invited to this show
