Extreme,” by Tim Wistrom

Tim Wistrom is a Seattle-based artist who paints surreal, beautiful images, many of which depict an alternate reality where nature has reclaimed the cities of the world. His art is sometimes whimsical, sometimes eerie, and often both. Favorites include polar bears walking the ice outside of Safeco Field (“Bear Necessities”); ocean engulfing the Capitol Records building in front of the Hollywood sign (can’t find this one online); and a memorable, elegaic image painted just after the 9/11 attacks (“Liberty Awake”).

You can see more at Wistrom’s gallery, which doesn’t actually show the image I liked best (“Rust in Peace,” a wonderfully evocative painting whose numbered prints were going for $350+, way out of my price range).

excellent. I love that one best too, Rust In Peace. Very surreal and soothing.

I have about 30 pieces of his work. Nature strikes is a rare deal, with only 250 total prints availble. I feel it will be one of more valued prints in no time.

I am looking for a copy of Rust in Peace, though not the one with the submarine but the space needle. If anyone has a line on this, please feel free to contact me.

I have a set of both “Rust in Peace” prints with matching numbers, #29 of 500, both in perfect condition with the matching frames that were framed by Tim Wistrom!! I have many other prints as well including the ARTIST PROOF print of Orcas Island (the one with the orcas swimming past the late great Kingdome! Anyone interested please e-mail me. Every print I have is no longer available through his gallery!! They are all for sale due to lack of wall space from a recent inheritance of art!!

I have a number of Tim’s prints and would like to ask how I would go about finding out their value.
Three that I have and am most interested in are:
Day Dreamer A/P , Down Town A/P and the third I can’t see the name as it must be under the mat….but it is a little boy sitting on a dock looking up at a carrier (ship)
When we purchased this from Tim, many years ago, if I remember correctly, he said the little boy was his son.
Thanks,
Marilyn

I currently have 5 pieces, my favorite is the one “save the humans” with the kingdome and orcas swimming around. I would love to have had copies made of his new Mulkiteo lighthouse and also one he did with the Coast Guard ice breaker. It seems he doesnt make prints of the ones I really want.

We would like to know the value of our “Orcas Island” by Tim Wistrom. It’s #723/950 print. We can’t find any information. Thank you.

David Forbes @ 02:22 PM | 2005/02/18

I have “fresh fish” 721/950 professionally framed and matted. I absolutely hate the thought of getting rid of it, but I have student loans to pay off. If interested, email me.

Please keep in mind when you are dealing with a sold out print that the secondary market really has no set rules…you put the price on the piece that you are comfortable with and then you can try and find a buyer who is willing to pay your price. If you feel its worth $2000 and you can find a buyer then I guess you were right…if you want it to sell quickly then put a more reasonable price on the piece and I can almost guarantee it will sell quickly. Keep in mind that you most likely only paid $40 to $100 for any of his prints unless it was a canvas edition. Its hard to find someone willing to spend several thousand dollars on a print when his originals start at $500 and up. Just try to keep it real when dealing with a secondary market re-sell.
