What effect, if any, does publishing the Robert Girrard Collection have on the value of the original Kinkade Girrard paintings and drawings?
Assuming proper quality and attention to detail in the design, publishing and marketing efforts, the effect is positive. An unknown work of art has relatively little value. When a desirable piece of artwork gains exposure more people become potential buyers for that artwork and the value of the work can be expected to increase. A benefit for any Girrard’ painting published by The Thomas Kinkade Company is that the image is automatically authenticated and gains recognition in the marketplace. Experts are in agreement that artwork created by a celebrity (like Thomas Kinkade) will have more value than artwork of the same quality created and marketed under an unknown name (like Robert Girrard’). Consequently, linking the Girrard’ works to their famous creator, Thomas Kinkade, is important for their value.
