Albert Willem valuation

Self-taught Belgian painter of crowded, comic scenes of everyday life going wrong.

Albert Willem is a self-taught painter, born in Belgium in 1979. His paintings fill the canvas with small, busy figures caught in the comedy and tragedy of ordinary life — a brawl at a wedding, dancing at a funeral, a packed beach, a snowbound village — in a naive style that draws openly on Pieter Bruegel the Elder, James Ensor and L. S. Lowry.

Original paintings are the main event, and because the work has come to market only recently, documentation matters: a painting should come with the gallery's or the artist's paperwork, and its title, date and dimensions should match it. Prints and editions are a separate, more accessible category. The pictures are dense with small detail, so surface condition and any retouching show more readily than they would on a looser painting.

What a work by Albert Willem is worth

Send photographs and whatever paperwork came with it. The first question is what the work actually is — edition or unique, when, and in what condition — because everything else follows from the answer. A valuation is free, made online from the photographs you send, and it commits you to nothing. We act for sellers across the UK.
