I have a house full of paintings by PR artists Luis Borrero, Angel Berrios, Erick Sanchez, Moises Castillo...and many more. I need to liquidate most of them because I am moving to the US and cannot take them all. I am really looking for someone, or a gallery to take these works of art on consignment...or other terms to be negotiated. Please let me know...

I have a 3 kings santos purchased in San Juan in the early 1950's which was represented as being between 35-45 years old at that time. It does not have a signature. Slight traces of painting. What is it worth on today's market?

I have several wood pieces completed by Puerto Rican artist Santo approximately 170 years ago. My father purchased them at the Galeria Botello in San Juan during the early 1980's. Artist Caban also was an artist who made out of wood "Bishop" If you might be interested please contact me
