Our online Appraisals
provide you with Fair Market Value of your print or painting.

You will receive both a virtual copy via email and a snail-mailed, signed and certified document.

Note that Fair Market Value is the price the piece would sell for on the open, secondary market—the likely price it would fetch at auction, for example—rather than the retail price of a work hanging in a gallery.

Appraisals for any other value (replacement value, liquidation value, forensic appraisals), require a personal examination of the work. (see Real-time Appraisal)


 
All our online appraisals conform to the International Society of Appraisers' Report Writing Standards and the ISA Code of Ethics, and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.

  • Your name, address and phone number.
  • A good digital photo of the work, front and back.
  • The medium or technique (oil, pastels, silkscreen).

  • Copy the text of any labels or stickers on the work.
  • Copy any inscriptions, front or back.
  • For prints: give us all the information written in the bottom margin (signature, edition numbers, etc.). If possible, hold up the work on paper to the light and describe the watermark.

  • The more you can tell us about the work the better:
