How do I tell if this is real, as in not a print? anyone familiar with Joan Miro's work? its signed in the lower left...I took off the frame and it looks like paper - did miro use paper? its taped to the back very neatly and not going to pry at it to much. Grabbed it at an estate sale. No authentication papers or dates or anything on it anywhere. I think it looks like a hybrid panda dog.

perhaps your best bet is locate a gallery that features that artist's work and ask the curator those same questions. I would not rely on info on a web page. Find an expert on the artist. I know there are very clever methods used to develop prints that frequently fool people into thinking they have originals. Could be as easy as a brief internet search and (possibly) a long distance phone call or two.

How much did you pay for it?
 
Re: Any fine are experts in the house?

Just for selling it in the future when I get tired of looking at it. For now it looks fine on the wall.
 
As someone who knows about art, albeit primarily Picasso, Davinci, and Rembrandt, I'd say it's a print or a serigraph at best. Any "original" piece would not be taped, especially in the period Miro was prominent in. The work wold be affixed to a backer via a crude tacking, or stretching and stapling of the canvas. I also do not believe Miro was known for working with paper all that much, but again, not my area of expertise.

I'd try to get it authenticated, but don't spend a whole lot on it.

so you put it up for sale...and you let everyone know that:

a) only people that are interested in the artist need apply,

b) you believe it to be an original,

c) the potential buyer can come look at it before the purchase is consummated and they can either:

1) pay, based on their belief that it is "real" or

2) split the cost of authentication with you.
