- Appraiser Elizabeth Stewart, PhD tells how she looks at and JUDGES unsigned works of art in a thrift store. She owns a household of such ‘orphan’ works of art she can't track to an artist. Presented in Antiques Roadshow fashion. elizabethappra...
She's talking about the celebrity of the artist and the dollar value of the painting. But maybe a buyer likes it because it reminds him of the country where he grew up. Maybe it brings a sense of peace, of calm. Also, it may be more attractive when cleaned. At thrift shop prices, if it makes your heart feel good, buy it. Remember, things you buy and then regret can always go back to the thrift store. Things you wanted but passed up will keep you up at night, regretting.
Or buy & repurpose the painting like others do. One guy adds his own touches to it, Afterall, he is now the owner. In one boats on an ocean landscape he added a kraken & lifted the whole thing from mundane.
@@pixibelle3282 Love that idea! Thank you!
I didn't buy a Calvin Klein sweater at a Thrift Store and I'm kicking myself lol
I once passed on a red marble-topped wash stand for £40 in a charity shop because I had no room for it. I think of it often......
Man, I love the way she's dressed.
Same 😊
Such class.
She looks so classy
I like the cane🧐
Yes! She is so interesting, pulled together, quirky and classy all at her advanced age! Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️😍
Often the paintings in thrift stores are amateur or “outsider” paintings. They can be fun and delightful, creative and funny, and break all the rules. I buy them if they make me happy. I am a trained artist myself, but what is commercially popular or valuable is not what makes the heart sing.
this is a well-balanced composition. the background fence follows the same shape as the sheep in the foreground (upside down V) also the left side works well also.
what a wonderful landscape view in the scene behind this video!
Let them use this way of appraisal, so I can get real priceless art, after they leave! 😂
If I like it, it’s a good painting. It’s what I personally will enjoy in my home! I agree with what you say about compositions. I love landscapes just the same and I love paintings like the girl with the red hair. Many people love the art I pick and if they say they don’t like it, it’s their loss. They don’t have to look at it! I love looking at my art. Whether it’s a a rooster called His Majesty by a lady in Vancouver or Victorian picnics by an English artist, I enjoy each and every one of them!
Didn't learn a thing because there wasn't an example of what she considered better quality to compare.
I buy a painting if it speaks to me, that’s all.
Xxx agree
Critiquing a thrift store painting as if it were displayed in a museum seems bizarre and rather pointless. I have browsed thrift stores for decades looking for paintings. It almost never happens that I find a painting worth buying for its own sake as art. Mostly the frames are better than the paintings. When I do buy a thrift store painting the typical plan is to either discard or paint over the painting, and most likely use the frame for a better artwork. In some cases I can improve the resale value of the painting by "fixing it up", that is, repaint some areas to improve its artistic quality and eye appeal.
Oh, and don't worry. I'm not finding paintings by George Inness or any artist of this quality when I dare to retouch a painting. For the most part, paintings that end up in thrift stores are there for a reason.
Yup
what a load of rubbish . How would she rate a Rothco or a Bacon of a Twomley . Buy what makes you want to look again and again at the same painting alnd knowing that the pleasure returns each time.
4:00 Thrift Store Paintings are mainly copies of famous artists. So they have composition but not detail. So basically, the first thing to check is whether this is a copy.
The value of a painting is what you can sell it for and unfortunately the name of an artist is everything. So for me I just luck for art I want to hand in my home myself.
I'd buy it for the frame, but not at that price. Interesting talk.
Thank you for the good information on these 😊 !
I like what she said about composition but wish she expanded more on other element to tell value
Not helpful ...
This has nothing to do with understanding value vis a vis thrift store finds
Price, size, age, color,
This did not help at all.
She wants you to buy her book or pay $2000 for her seminar.
@@davesunhammer4218 I like you for saying😂 Looking at these gurus that infested all over the internet/social media with paying seminars or webners
Once I asked a persian carpet dealer. How does one choose? He said1) do you like it? 2) Can you afford it? 3) Do you have a space to display it? I would add: is it good quality? Let the rest of other people's opinions (opo's) go
Is this Sahara Jessica Parker’s mother?
I was thinking she looks like an older version of SJP lol
I would buy it for the frame.
People like to be sold, and lectured. I buy them because the frame is nice, often times the frame alone is worth 2x-3x the panting.
over egging the pudding......
To ambiguous. This is for wannabe art flippers. if you love the art bye it.
Where’s the loupe? 🤔
Someone cute talking about a cute painting.
Can you appraise a piece for me?
Is that Sarah Jessica Parker's mother?
Is her audience paying for this advice?
Yeah I’m going to pass on this $5 thrift store “good painting” because it’s only worth $1,000 instead of $5,000.
Full of beans you are

I luv this find from a thrift store just the way it is... its' beautiful! And I would definitely buy regardless of the artist.
That's GREAT that, at that time, landscapes aren't/weren't popular. That is always a perfect time to buy what you'd want AND at lower prices. Things/tastes ALWAYS change, anyhow. What a great video.
Art is language of Soul-can’t be appreciated or explained only by analytics
Shes an excellent speaker
Watch Dr. Lori ‘s video on thrift store paintings… makes more sense👍
