The artist always has the rights to reproduce their work unless they specifically sign them away, which is very rare. Keep in the mind the decisions you make regarding making reproductions can affect your reputation. Do what is right for your original buyer. At the very least, I would inform them of your decision, if you know who they are. Prints can add value the price of originals. None of this is legal advice. It is incumbent on every artist to seek proper counsel when making decisions that may have legal ramifications on them or their business.

I would like to consider selling them to the wall décor market.

Ask if they have a return policy, or will help you sell on consignment. Check to see if the artist has work available on the secondary or art broker market. Researching the Internet is likely your best bet, unless you have friend or family member that loves the work.
