When reviewing your existing collection or considering major new acquisitions, it is important to accurately assess the value of the artwork, its provenance, and current market conditions.

Accurate valuation takes into account:

  • The condition of the work
  • The work's provenance
  • Recent sales of comparable works
  • The value that can actually be realized in the marketplace
  • The art historical importance of the work
  • The appropriateness to the collection and collector

When valuating a collection, we provide a preliminary informal analysis to determine which pieces may warrant a formal appraisal. This allows us to evaluate your collection in the most cost-effective manner.

We have access to numerous auction and private sale records of investment quality work and can provide you with an accurate assessment of your collection in today's marketplace.

During the valuation process, we can also photograph, review and provide conservation recommendations for artwork that may be damaged or at risk.
