Looking for a particular piece of art or the artist?

Question

I am looking for a portrait that was painted about 8 years ago and hung in an art gallery in NY. It is of my nephew who passed away 5 years ago. I don 't remember the artist but I have a picture of the art. Any suggestions on how I could find the artist? or the picture?

Answer 1

Have you tried googling your nephew's name? Who gave the artist the original picture?

The museum would catalog all of their art work. If you give them a rough date they should be able to let you know.

Answer 2

If you know the gallery, you can just go there and show the picture the manager or someone in charge.I think all art is registered to to some kind of Customs.I think you will get a more clear idea, if you ask a gallery for assistance.
