Andrea Doria Painting by Ronald Mallory how much is it worth

[Ming Liao]

I have a painting by Ronald Mallory of the Andrea Doria passing the WTC. dated 1981. The one that hung on the 107th FL of twin towers burned on 9/11 along with the twin towers. It was bought for 15K and I was wondering how much it would be worth now? the on that hung in WTC was dated 1982. There was only 5 I think of the paintings of the Andrea Doria by Ronald Mallory. I would greatly appreciate it if someone can help me with it.

Your painting is worth more by association with the WTC. I'm surprised there were more than the one destroyed painting. One of it's unique aspects was, of course, the incongruity of the lost ship and the (then) extant WTC Towers. I am not an art appraiser, but in light of history, a marine painting dealer would be your best reference. The WTC painting was well known and celebrated for that reason.
