My problem is that it's a painting, which shouldn't be a problem EXCEPT - when he passed in 1972 the entire estate of paintings (hundreds of his works), was assessed as ONE THING. There IS no separate appraisal. There is no unique basis.
And from whom would I receive a form? Everyone associated with the work has passed except my 94 year old Aunt, & she handled the sale with her commission proceeds reverting to a 501(c)(3) foundation for his work. The admin of the foundation has already said they're not sending one because it wasn't sold out of the foundation.
