Who buys Maynard Dixon paintings?

How is a Dixon valued? See How much is a Maynard Dixon painting worth? and the Dixon seller FAQ.
His work runs from early illustrations to the simplified desert landscapes and cloudscapes of the 1920s through the 1940s, and includes oils, watercolors, drawings and murals. The right route to market depends on what you own. A dealer who knows the field can tell you whether your painting is best bought outright, consigned, or placed privately.
