Important information for owners and collectors of FdLM paintings

As my original works have entered the Commercial Gallery ArtMarket, there will be an adjustment in the pricing to reflect a recent increase in value, effective February 8, 2010.

It is important that you are informed on what the work you own is currently valued at.  If you own a painting and would like to know the new estimated price, please contact the studio with the title(s) and size(s). We'll get back to you with that information. Email: info@fdlmstudio.com

An updated price list of available works is also available upon request.

Thank you for your time and continued support.

Franck de Las Mercedes
