Believe it or not, your Beaverton City Library owns what is considered the world's leading guide to the art market. For many, Davenport's Art Reference & Price Guide is the first source to consult when beginning the process of determining whether a discovered artist may have produced a masterpiece or something more modest.
Next time you purchase a piece of art, whether from an art gallery or thrift shop, and are curious to find out what a representative price would be for an artist's work, this resource is the best place to start. It isn't the final arbiter. It is intended to give the reader an idea as to the relative worth of an artist's work, with further research almost always needed. Stop by the Beaverton City Library and take a look at this great resource that can be found on the shelves in the Reference Collection. The library owns the 2012 edition. (REF 707.5 DAV 2012 )
