Verdult artwork - Moving beyond a hope and a prayer.

As we stressed in our post on "William Joseph Verdult - Where's My $5 million?" we are moving beyond just a hope and a prayer in valuing Verdult artwork.

More and more you see Verdult art work and summary of the artist showing up in the data bases of major websites responsible for tracking major listed artist around the world.

In February of last year, we completed a major initiative to get William Joseph Verdult listed on artprice.com which list major artist around the world. In addition to supplying extensive background information on Verdult including the Official bio and Verdult Scrapbook, we provided several hundred background documents not previously released to the public.

Last year in addition to releasing a number of press releases on Verdult artwork to keep the Verdult name in the public's eye, we were also successful in getting William Joseph Verdult listed on Askart.com.

This year are completing arrangements to get William Joseph Verdult listed both here in the United States and in Europe on perhaps the largest on-line organization responsible for tracking Verdult artwork. Not only will this organization include William Joseph Verdult as a listed artist; prices of William Joseph Verdult artwork will be included in the data base as well.

Why is this important? In order for owners of William Joseph Verdult artwork to remove beyond a hope and a prayer in knowing and receiving cash for William Joseph Verdult artwork, these major on-line establishments must have verifiable records of cash sales of Verdult artwork.

When lenders, banks, and insurance companies want to know the value of William Joseph Verdult artwork; or want to know the answer concerning whether to give cash loans for William Joseph Verdult artwork, they go to these major websites' data bases for the answers. If their are no records of sales then the answer that investors and owners of William Joseph Verdult artwork will receive - won't be favorable. We are out to change this. We'll provide more information as we develop this initiative.
