He is a noted artist found in many museum collections.
Do some research online and off to better understand the artist. If you live near an art museum, see if they schedule appraisals for their collection. (They might even schedule a private appraisal, in the hopes of acquiring the painting on loan to their collection.)
The museum might have a curator who is knowledgeable in the artist or the period of art. The curator can also give some advice on the proper care of the painting.
The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art holds the artist's archives, and can provide some historical information about your painting and its provenance (the painting's biography).
You can contact them here:
