Appraisal Services
Certified by the Appraiser's Association of America, we offer expertise in the appraisal of works of art for current or past market value which can be used for purposes of insurance, estate valuations, or donation. We provide fair market evaluations on works brought into the gallery or high quality images submitted via email or post. The following appraisals are billed on an hourly basis and executed in compliance with the standards of the Appraiser's Association of America:
Estate/Insurance: The gallery will provide the client with a current appraisal for an estate or insurance carrier upon seeing the works in person (or, in select cases, working from photographs). Upon completion of the appraisal, should the gallery sell the work, the charge for the initial appraisal will be refunded.
Gift/Tax Donation: Appraisals will be facilitated with the Art Dealers Association of America ensuring that the client receives the most reliable valuation.
