painting by Emile Gauguin
JTonito
Hello everyone:
I found a painting made by an artist with the name of Emile Gauguin.After some
research I found out that Paul Gauguin had 2 sons with that name.The painting
is done on linen and had a seal from O'Hara Gallery,18,Carlos
Place,London,W.1.Right under in ink they wrote No.55.The frame was restored but
everything looks really old(yellowished linen.colors are still bright).I have a
picture of the painting I can post and it shows a couple of indians?under a
tree in a very childish,modernist way.Can you give me some information?Thanks

He named both his sons Emile?

Off the record...It sounds to me like you definitely have a painting on
your hands...
I'd suggest looking into the gallery you mentioned.
If it no longer exists, find out what happened, why, who owned it, are
they still around, if not - did they have kids, other family...
If you are able to contact the gallery, tell them the story...ask them if
they could authenticate the piece...
If all paths to the gallery itself lead to dead ends, start researching
the buyers of the time...Find out everything you can about the art market
of London within the last 97 years, or within 5 years of the time the
restoration of the frame was dated...
Try to find out if anyone bought any work from the same artist...See if
you can find them, and if so ask if they could authenticate the work.
If all else fails, approach a museum with the piece and ask them to find
someone to authenticate it, and if they have the ability and do
authenticate it, offer to sell it to them for a fat price.
Hold out for a lot of money, and try to convince them that having the work
of the son of a famous artist is almost the same as having the work of the
famous artist himself...if that doesn't work out, I bet the Canadian
National Museum will pay you a few million for it.

Emile Gaugin ground out schlock for the tourists for years ( he
may still be at it). Nice souvenir if you've been there, but no real value.
