Help: Identifying Artist(s)...Kees Smits + ???, by ricobenfico on Mar 10, 2017 15:19:21 GMT 1, Hi All, been a while, hope everyone is well and behaving themselves!
I'm trying to identify what I can from a painting (and x2 other bits) as to the artist details, career, representation, value etc please. The following pieces were previously hung in a global financial institution's headquarters and donated to a charity but have languished in storage for a while. The new Chief is trying desperately to identify just what he has in his possession......let's see if the power of the forum can help again.....
From the signature, it seems to be dutch artist, Kees Smits......anyone add to this......
  
This one below seems to be 1/1 entitled Skyline III by artist R.Tam.....? Might just be low end standard 'art' for hanging in offices, but best to check...!!! Any help, much appreciated......

Have you tried a google reverse image on the second one?

Hadn't tried a reverse image search on the other. Think I've managed it now but it just threw up a load of generic 'painting'.....

Both nice pieces too, hope the charity does well from the monster piece.

I have tried by adding terms like "skyline" or "skyline III" but found none. As the first, the name was correct... but I had a good laugh at the "1998" made in pencil, hihihi !! Too much coffee !!
