Frazetta Egyptian Queen for sale publicly

One of the single greatest, most iconic Frazetta paintings now for sale publicly through his family. You have to ask for a price, but I'm guessing 5 million.  Price aside, the concept that this could be privately owned sends the mind reeling.

WOW! Wish I were Bill Gates that would be pocket change. I bet it will end up in the collection of Robert Rodriguez.

Which family member is selling these? The google caching of the various museum websites really complicates things.

beautiful artwork mixed with the perfert (horrendous) font!

LOL.  John Millius once offered Frank 100k for this painting.  Even at 100k, it sounded like a low ball offer.

I wonder if anyone in the estate has ever tried to consign to Sotheby's or Christie's American Art auctions? Inclusion in a catalog like that, alongside Rockwell, Wyeth, and Parrish, etc. would seem like the next logical way to cement the Frazetta illustration legacy within the art world. If any fantasy artist could make the leap, it's him.

(I would also like to see a Bernie Fuchs, a Bob Peak, or a Drew Struzan make that leap up to the American Art Fine Art level. They may have the public visibility to get up to that level. Somebody at these big auctions houses should be taking the lead to rework this market and the definition of "American Art".)

As I understand it the major Frazetta pieces like Egyptian Queen and Death Dealer are owner jointly by both siblings. Most of the other lesser paintings were split between them.

Has anyone here inquired into the price?

I think that there are 4 kids in that family, no? As I understand it the major works are jointly owned and they divvied up the rest by choosing one at a time!

This piece (and others) was shopped privately in the first half of last year (at least that's when I heard about it; inquiries might have started even earlier).  I would assume that the BSD usual suspects like Rodriguez have, at the very least, been aware of its availability and asking price, and have thus far not bitten.

That kind of money could pay for spelling lessons.

I don't know nuthin' from nuthin' here, the seven figure circle is not where I generally circulate lol, but agree you don't generally float public unless your number hasn't worked privately first. For easy to place masterpieces that is.

I heard the rights coming along with the pieces isn't helping the affordability. How does one value the rights to the death dealer, for example? Not that I could afford a DD oil anyway, but if I could I wouldn't want to be burdened with the licensing rights. That's like paying to have to go to work in a way.
