I have paintings of 19 century Japanese painters, like Kuniyoshi, Yoshida and Hiroshige. how do I sell them?
I am a church volunteer who lives in Columbia, MO. Our church happened to have some paintings by 19 century Japanese painters, they include Kuniyoshi Utagawa (歌川国芳), Yoshida Hiroshi (吉田 博) and Ando Hiroshige (歌川広重). and I am trying to see how much they are worth, and how would I be able to sell them. One of them is 東海道五拾三次之内 日本橋・朝之景
First you need to contact a certified art appraiser to determine their value, then you may wish to contact an art auction house to sell the paintings for you to get the best value. These are name artists and the works should be valued. You can do some preliminary research for a small fee ($29.50 for one month access) by using AskArt.com site which lists artists, biographical information and auction selling prices. Or Artnet.com which lists paintings, galleries, auction houses, etc. Whatever you do, get reputable representation and don't do something like put them on ebay without knowing their market value. Look at the links I provided for additional information.

DO NOT list them publicly where anyone can get this information - these can be valuable works and it would be risky posting this information on an open public forum. Take precautions when showing these works to anyone - don't bring people to your home, and don't show them alone, always have someone with you. It might be best if you do try to sell privately to arrange meetings at the church with several church members in attendance.
