artprice.com is a good place to start....you can find out if an artist is
"listed" there, ie. if his works sell at a good price in the galleries and
at the auctions, etc. Oils, prints, etc. are all included...They charge
for price info, but if you find a listed artist you can believe that the
prices are hefty. I carry their paperback guide of 50,000 listed artists
in the car with me when I'm out hunting, hoping to find a winner...order
it from amazon, not from them, it's cheaper.

artprice.com will tell you for free if an artist (in most any media) is

the actual prices. I buy their paperback guide that lists some 50,000
artists and carry it in the car with me when I'm out hunting, though I
have yet to find anything really good. As I recall you can get the guide
from amazon.com quite a bit cheaper than their price.

Here's some of their stuff:
