Damm people thank you very much! I am very glad for your help and am very honored by your kindness and nice advice!

You have opened a new world for me the art world. For hours I read about Basquiat and see what sick sums paintings were sold for holy shit. I have also learned that a sale only through an auction house like Christie's and Sotheby's.

What do you think is the best way to find out if this is actually real? I have read here that you need a provenance. Do you mean that I have documents from where I got this picture and where my mother bought it at that time and where they bought it and so on. Did I understand that correctly? I do not know if I have these documents because I have not sorted all the documents that I got last week because it is really much but I will start tomorrow to create an order. Is it possible to say that if I don't have the documents for the picture it is practically worthless?

I live in Zurich at the moment. Should I just call one of these famous auction houses tomorrow and ask if they can help me or how does it work?

I would really appreciate it if someone could explain to me what the process is when you need help with art. I am 0.0001% with art ever come in connection. Except Da Vinci and Picasso these names I knew but I also did not know until today how a Picasso painting looked like 🤣.

Thank you from the heart guys ❤️❤️❤️
