Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Arizona

There is a painting called the Surgeon by Dean Meeker, featured on this webpage http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/5176325

how do you get online rights to use artwork of deceased artists. I haven't a clue how to go about it.

Maybe his estate manages his work? Maybe rights to his work were bought by some art dealer? From whom can we purchase the license to use it on our sight?

Any attorney will say more information is needed. You probably need to contact the estate of the deceased, the executor or trustee, etc. Consult with a good probate attorney in your area for specific advice.
