oseedcltr Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I frequent the comic side of the boards regularly and have purchased/collected high dollar books for years but have finally decided after saving for a while to purchase a original piece of Bernie’s work. I’m sure you all would agree he is a true master of the highest order and his artwork is breath taking. I also realize I would of fared much better having bought his art many years before his passing and it’s stratosphere appreciation. Nevertheless the longer I wait the higher I feel it will go. I have about $10,000 to spend and I realize that isn’t much concerning Bernie Wrightson but I’m reaching out for any help/suggestions where to find some beautiful works. I know that many of the dealers and galleries jack the prices up ridiculously high. I’d there anyone or a place that someone could steer me to? Any help greatly appreciated.

oakman29 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Bernie Wrightson is not only a great artist, but was a very nice guy. One of the highlights of my life was discuusing his artwork for many hours, he really gave me some great feedback on my work as well. Coming from such a master, I was humbled by his thoughts on my work. I do have a piece of his work , and I will cherish it, and the moment forever.

I had a conversation with him once comparing the studio guys to the Beatles. Bottom line was, nobody wanted to be Ringo. He is missed. On the art side, I would think you could find something decent for 10k. Maybe not a top tier Swamp Thing page, and certainly not a Frankenstein, but there is a lot out there that falls within that range. I'd watch auctions.

Oh yes, there are decent Wrightson pages available in that range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oseedcltr Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 Thanks everyone for the opinions and stories. Does anyone have any nice pieces they would like to part with or know of someone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oseedcltr Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 What I have also noticed in my search is that dealers mark up his works insanely high. Is that what many of them command? Up to $100,000+ for top tier pieces. Does anyone think that some of his work is a blue chip investment? I absolutely love his eye for detail it is unrivaled in my opinion. A true master in every sense of the word! Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
