[Bcma-l] Fanderlik Painting

[bcma-l@museumsassn.bc.ca]

 From what i read on the Trail Museum website and by googling Velenka, 
there is no established name recognition for her painting work. It might 
be onerous to sell her work outside of the local community. The first 
step would be disseminating a digital copy to potential interested 
parties.  But even to establish any market value, there would need to be 
an artist CV or artist bio developed which reflects her legacy and 
importance as an artist. Given she died 37 years ago, appears to have 
been a local amateur artist, I do not know if this is something which 
would generate interest beyond Trail or the Vancouver Czech community.
