I saw these two oil paintings in a local scrap yard, they looked authentic, they were oil, they were signed
I googled the artist and he is real famous and each one goes for 2000 £
Is there a museum or gallery that specializes in that artist's work? I would start with them and see what they say. They will either be or know the most qualified people to authenticate the paintings. You would need to start with that before they can be appraised, they are separate steps.
