How does it work?
-
We begin with a conversation to understand the purpose of the appraisal—whether it's for insurance, estate planning, or sale—and to gather preliminary details about your artwork.
-
We then conduct a thorough inspection of the artwork, noting its condition, artist signature, and any other relevant details. This is followed by in-depth research into the artist, provenance (the history of ownership), and current market trends to determine a fair valuation.
-
The collected information and research are compiled into a comprehensive, confidential written report. This document details the value of your artwork and can include all necessary documentation to support our findings.
Need to know what a work is worth — or how it fits into your collection? Let’s talk.
