Hi Melina, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. Max Shaye's works sell for high sums at private gallerys and from art dealers but when sold at auction - the values Mearto uses in our appraisals - his paintings sell for very modest sums (only about 2 dozen of his works have sold at auction in the past 10 years, the highest price was about $450) but your painting has a few things going for it: size, bold use of color and it's signed/dated/titled. Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is: Maximilian Shaye (American, 1910 - 2004) "Burning Rhythm," 1981 acrylic on canvas signed, dated and titled verso 48 by 36 inches CONDITION: appears to be in good condition PROVENANCE: inherited $300-500* *represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary. Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
