Paul Flora's work is simply masterful, both in technique and in expression through "story telling". This is a very well-known European master-artist with an ever-increasing value as more and more people and collecting "experts" become aware of such work. Outstanding, sometimes truly intriguing, sometimes absorbing works, always presented with technical skills that create the viewer effect without ever being focused on in any way that interrupts the viewer's experience. Only after involvement with this artist's works does any viewer realize the technical quality of the images created, the thoughts and emotions experienced. In 2000 this artist was ranked in Prints at number 1,728 (using Hammer and ArtPrice data), growing rapidly in collector interest to a rank of 799 in the year 2005. An unusually high degree of change. There has been simply greater collector interest and awareness of this artost's work. Using the same key data resources, Hammer and ArtPrice (recommended by e-Art Now to all serious collectors) this and other pieces from this release (Farblithographie) have sold at auction for $233 on Nov 17, 2005 in Austria and for $257 at the same auction for another print from the same series. e-Art Now has set its pricing on this most recent data. The artist has his original inks selling for circa $3,518 in current data reports. This particular piece is hand signed and numbered (20/500) in pencil.
