Where should I go to sell art bought from an art auction?

My husband and I bought several pieces of art at an auction on our honeymoon cruise. Some of the pieces are framed. We have letters of authenticity for all of them. We would like to know the best approach to take in order to sell them.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Like Glen said, have them appraised. I would search for the artist online and get an idea of what they sell for, if they CAN be found online. Selling them on eBay might be possible, but very difficult.

It's often more difficult to resell an artwork that has been purchased than it is for the artist to sell their work on there, as the art section of eBay is heavily saturated.

You might want to consider other options in the offline format such as auctions, or shops that may want to buy it from you.
