______________________________________

Greetings Peter Lik fans.
We have made this page to welcome those
new to the photographic art industry and that
are now excited about it due to viewing the stunning work of Peter Lik. 

We feel his work, although not as limited
as Michael Seewald's, but equally nice, to be a very nice
purchase indeed, if you have made one. If not, we'd like you
to think about adding a Seewald to your collection also, or instead of.

What, instead of?
Yes, here is why.
Michael Seewald's art will be, and is now, MORE of a collectable.
And IF that is what you want, and that's why you are collecting,
it will pay off more down the line. We will explain why, keep reading.

Michael Seewald's
Slot Canyon, Arizona, '94
A very limited (as low as only 10, depending on size) edition
and he has hundreds of images, all of this quality!

______________________________________

So, we see a lot of photographs are
selling for BIG money nowadays. But why?

Because:
1. These artists made very different art;

2. They usually made VERY SMALL limited editions;

3. They were very serious artists/photographers;

All these things describe Michael Seewald and his limited edition art.

1. Michael makes quite different art, with a lot of 'ghosts', sometimes called angels, in his art
(not real ones, just a creation he makes with his 'very long exposures', turning
regular folks into ghosts types')

BUT how limited
are Seewald's editions?

Well, let's just say Peter Lik's are in the hundreds per, almost a
thousand actually (950) on his large sizes. Seewald's? How about
only (10) 40"x50"s  (close in size to his 1.5 meter), or (25) 30"x40"s (equals his 1 meter size)?
Yeah, that rare, and limited to only (50) for the 24"x30" sizes.

But how is the pricing on those? How about the same price range,
for such rarity- ABSURD! Yep. 24"x30" sizes run only $5,000.
So when do you think would be a good time to contact the Seewald
galleries about adding one to your collection? That's right, right now, before Seewald
comes to his senses and sees his work is under priced, compared to 'the competition'.

From Australia to Russia, Peru to Iceland or
Portugal to Nepal, master photographer
Michael Seewald's been there.

He also came up with an innovative 'sponsorship program' back in 1986,
enabling him to make over 57 world-wide trips to date (as of 5.'11), usually a month per
place, by letting folks invest in a piece, sight-unseen, for a discounted
rate over opening night prices.  Hundreds of folks have taken advantage of these
offerings, and you still can, go here for more info: Seewald's sponsorship program
 

AND, a national photographic art magazine was so
enamored with his program, and his art, they
wrote a great article about it way back in 1991, here it is: Photographer Forum Article

Are you still thinking about
collecting a Peter Lik for investment reasons?

Then do check to see if the prices the gallery claims some of his art is REALLY worth what they claim. Are they re-selling
for those kind of prices on eBay? Anywhere close? How about half of stated value? Not that we've seen!
How about a tenth? Yep, we notice it's more like a 10th, or less. Some stated on the auctions that gallery
values were quoted them at $70,000, or more, and yet are NOT fetching even $7,000 on re-sale! Most go unsold.

So, buyers beware.

Some facts about photographic art, and where it's headed.
 

Most of the high value to these stunning prices are
due to the fact these images were very limited in availability.
NOTE: Ansel Adams, the most famous, is not on the 'high dollar'
record price list, his work was not that limited, overall.

This photographic image, by Edward Weston,
sold recently at auction for over one and a half million dollars.
