This project was assigned to put to the test students’ comparative skills and put into action our knowledge of the processes surrounding the appraisal of a fine arts piece. With no information given other than the name of the painting and the artist responsible for the work of art, I used comparative analysis to determine the possible fair market value of Salmon Rose by Wayne Thiebaud. I enjoyed the process and found it rather rewarding to examine similarities and differences between the works of an artist which may not be compared otherwise. I want to take this opportunity to showcase my descriptive and deductive skills.
