I have this wall art made from painted copper / metal on wood, signed 'G . Dorhofer 67', I've tried many times to find info on the artist, asked local museum curators, auction houses etc. locally (south africa) and no one knows! anyone out there able to help? It was originally in the lobby of one of the big businesses here.
A simple and overlooked way...
A simple and overlooked way of locating people can be found using a local telephone directory book. Start calling every Dorhofer and politely inquiring. If G. Dorhofer is from the area, there's going to public records...even governmental ones.
BTW... Dorhofer seems to be a German name, and a clue to utilize.
If there's a University nearby, inquire with the Art department faculty. Maybe even the local High Schools (unlikely as this is a very mature work). A etter option to High Schools is the Library. A good Library will have quality staff able to guide you. Good luck.
