..not very lucky, luckygirl..

....they will probably only reimburse you for what you paid for it...technically because that is the amount of money you are out because it's what you paid for it....i don't think speculation applies and i'm almost sure no one pays for what a work of art is currently worth at the moment...

best bet...find you reciept or cancelled check or whatever form of payment you used....if you have none of these, contact shag...

he probably has kept records (taxes, ya know) of what his stuff sold for and when (what year) and where. he may be able to tell you or give you an idea of what it may have sold for and what it's worth on the market....also, if you remember where you bought it contact the gallery....they too should have records i think...

the frame shop will probably want proof of some sort that the serigraph cost what you say it does...again this is where shag or the gallery you bought it from may help by providing you with some sort of official letter acknowledging the value of the serigraph....

otherwise, if you can find another serigraph just buy it, and take that reciept to the framers and they can reimburse you...
