Art Horde Discovered, Looking for some Signature IDs that have us Stumped

[bigcaddy64]

I was enjoying my extra long New Years vacation when I found a local ad for some stereo equipment I wanted to check into and possibly purchase.

Once I arrived, I entered a home that was absolutely filled with all kinds of wonderful things (art, glassware, sculpture, bronzes, sterling, etc...) it was quite disorganized but I was able to buy a few things and have permission to come back for more as they do a purge/clean out.

The pictures I’ve attached are some of the art pieces I liked and want to buy. My girlfriends uncle is a dealer and appraiser but even he was stumped with the 2 signatures I sent so I’m hoping everybody here can dig up something.

For those who can’t see them, here is what I think they read

Plain aire - Lena Badgett

City street - Bolladamos

The Picasso poster is a print/gouache/litho? but I can’t figure out if it was a poster or commissioned piece for something. It has some silverfish damage/staining but still a neat item to see.

There also was a nude portrait of a woman, perhaps a watercolor accented with charcoal pencil with B. Schweikart 89 in the corner. That also pulled up no results.

Either I’m horrible researching art or these are all done by no name artists.

The real sad part of the whole affair is the best work in the home was done by the owners mother and they aren’t for sale. Each piece is fantastic and she trained under some very, very talented Art Institute instructors when she attended school.

Don't feel bad, art is one of the most difficult things to research. I would start with a look at ha.com. Locate their art professional in the researchers list and send them pics of these on the email listed. If you have something exciting you will get an email back very quickly Good luck to you!

Sorry I can't help in art ID. But I also got a good piece at a yard sale. There were prints all over the lawn and I noticed one I liked but I didn't go to close, I didn't want the owner to see I was interested. I yelled out how much for your Don Quixote? He did not understand so I repeated. He did not know so I walked over and picked it and asked if he would take $1 (remember I am dollar dan) He said OK and i paid and quickly left. This is one in a series Picasso painted. Number one did not have his squire Sancho Panza in the drawing. It is a silk screen print. The date is considered his signature in this series.

Bigcaddy, good to see you still posting. We have met in the past. I am from Brea. Fullerton was my yard sale stomping ground. I retired three years ago and moved to very northern CA. Close enough to Oregon to get get gas $1 cheaper.
