Why You’ll See “Inquire for Information” on Paintings

You may notice that most paintings on our website now have a button marked “Inquire for Information” rather than displaying a price. We want to share why we’ve chosen this approach and how it benefits both collectors and the galleries who represent Ford Smith.

Ford works closely with a select group of galleries across the country. These galleries invest time, expertise, and care into presenting his work, building relationships with collectors, and providing personalized service. Out of respect for those partnerships, we avoid publicly listing prices on featured paintings.

The “Inquire for Information” button is simply a way for us to connect with you directly. When you reach out via the button contact, phone, text or email, we can provide current pricing, availability, and any additional details you may want — while also ensuring that inquiries are handled thoughtfully and, when appropriate, in coordination with one of our representative galleries.

For collectors, this approach often leads to a more personal experience. It allows us to answer questions, share context about the artwork, and help guide you to the best next step, whether that’s working directly with a gallery or learning more about a specific piece.

We see this not as a barrier, but as a courtesy — one that helps preserve strong gallery relationships while still making information readily available to those who are genuinely interested.

If you have questions about any painting, we always welcome you to reach out. Shown here is the original painting "Beckoning Spring" (36x48 )
