How do I find out the value of Takanori Oguiss Painting?

Hello,

your first step is to make sure it is an original painting. This can be done in several different ways. You need to have good quality photographs of the painting showing the front and back with detailed closeups of areas of the work along with the signature. Any history you have of the painting is also important (where it came from, how long you have had it, etc.).

Original Takanori Oguiss paintings sell from $2000 to over $100,000 depending on subject matter, size etc.

If you would include photos we should be able to start your quest for the best venue to sell it. I have included a brief biography.

Takanori Oguiss
Japanese, 1901 - 1986

After attending the academy of arts of Tokyo, Takanori Oguiss moved to Paris in 1927 where he became a student of Foujita. he rapidly became a part of the Parisian artistic circle and in 1933 began working in one of the ateliers of the "Montmartre aux artistes". He painted primarily the old picturesque districts and suburbs of Paris, but also still lifes and landscapes. During his eight-year stay in Japan, he attained recognition in his native country, taking part in exhibitions, as he had done in France. Takanori Oguiss was also a writer. He wrote and illustrated the "Nouvelles de Paris". His dedication to the art of lithography began only in 1971. Retrospectives on Oguiss were held as early as 1955, and a museum in his hometown of Inazawa opened three years before his death

Thank you Thom! I am looking forward to the help. I have had the picture for about 11 years. I found it in the trash dumpster. I have almost put it in the trash on several occasions and again a few months ago when I was packing to move, something told me to try and research the artist one more time.
The size is about 24" X 18" and is titled on the back and below his signature. I will get pictures to you later this eveing. Again thanks for the help!
