Karl E. Nilsen signed etchings

[mimiwells]

Does anyone have any knowledge about Karl E. Nilsen signed etchings, and drawings.  I have two along with an advertisement for his art showing in Germany?

Karl E. (Kalle) Nilsen (1945-2011) was a Norwegian printmaker, draughtsman, illustrator, sculptor and painter. His works are to be found in the collections of the Norwegian National Gallery, The Norwegian National Bank, The Norwegian National Library, the national Whaling Museum and other collections.

You might try contacting these Institutions for more information.

Oslo is the capital of Norway.  Your poster is announcing an exhibition of the artist's work in that country.

Thanks folks

I have sent an email to the museum in Norway to see if they can add anything.

Just received a response from the Museum in Norway.  They said I need to contact an Art Dealer or Sotheby's to determine the value.  They cannot assist with the items.

I have sent photos of items to Sotheby's, Christies and Bonhams. They replied promptly and when I consigned a piece, the authentication is included. When you get into high end art, they are the professionals. They may be slower, snobbier and more expensive, but they know their stuff.

Thank you Janet, I didn't want a  value on it, I merely didn't know what I had.  Guess I will try Sothebys...Would be nice to hit a homerun on this one.

Thank you for correcting the link. Anyone interested in Karl Erik Nilsen's art, can contact me on Facebook. Or view some more images in the catalogue I made for a memorial exhibition in Oslo.

The works of Karl E. Nilsen are rarely sold on auctions, therefore the action firms have no history of valuing his works. But if you want to ask someone who is familiar with his works about the artistic value of them, you could contact Anders Elvestad at art dealer Blomqvist in Oslo. He will be able to answer your questions.
