What does this mean?

Angela,
Thank you for submitting photos to Mearto for appraisal. My apologies - I responded fairly soon asking for additional photographs of the backs and any edition numbers but it looks as though the response was not logged.
I look forward to hearing from you, and again, my apologies.

What additional info do yo need? The art is attached to wood backings..They're all dated 1999, they're large, embossed a set of 4, they're definitely authentic by Arnoldo Pomodor. I got these from a woman name Martina who moved back to Italy years ago...

Arnoldo Pomodoro,,, sorry I keep misspelling his name.

Delia Oct 19, 12:17 UTC

Angela, Thank you for responding. Pomodoro made these in originals and also as multiple editions, which would have numbers (ie, 2 / 10), which would indicate that the work was the second of ten made. There is a large difference in value between the originals and the multiples, with the multiples being considerably less. If you don't see edition numbers there is a much greater chance these are originals.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks, Madelia

I don't see any numbers other than 99, which I believe is the date and It's signed in pencil?? It was pure luck that I found his name. I acquired them from a friend for doing work for her move back to Italy years ago, she may have known the artist?? Anyway thank you for getting back to me I really appreciate any values you can give, I have no use for them and I'm terrified they're going to get damaged. Thank you so much.

Angela, thanks for letting me know about the pencil numbers. I'm going to check a reference to see if the date aligns with when he did these, and see if the wood backing affects value and, if so, how much - will be back to you very soon. Madelia

Thank you

Good morning, Angela,
After a bit more research, I'm not convinced that, even without edition numbers, that these are originals. I think the group of four would be worth $3,000-5,000 at auction, assuming they are embossed prints or other form of multiple, and where the wood backing does not impact the condition as much. If, upon firsthand inspection, they are determined to be originals, the wood backing might be an issue but as originals they might be worth more. Is that clear? Please let me know if you have any other questions. Many thanks again.

Thank you very much I really appreciate it. Do you have any referrals I can take them to here in Los Angeles, if not it's okay I really appreciate your information.

Angela aguirre Oct 23, 16:44 UTC

Oh and they are very lightly glued or attached with something light onto the wood I guess for better hanging but its comes of the very easy...

Delia Oct 29, 23:23 UTC

Hi Angela, you could take these to Bonhams. I am not sure if they are valuable enough for them. They may have another suggestion if they can't take them.
