Getting Fine Art Appraised
Summary
Preparing for an Art Appraisal
To ensure a smooth appraisal process, organize all your artwork beforehand and make them easily accessible for the appraiser.
Share any relevant documents about the artwork, such as purchase receipts. These receipts often include the painting's title, which may not always be visible on the artwork itself. If the artist is still living, you might determine the title; however, some artists do not keep a permanent record of their work. In cases where the artwork isn't dated, the receipt date can help establish its age. Providing complete information is crucial to ensure a thorough appraisal.
Preparing for the Appraisal
Allocate sufficient time for the appraiser to inspect and photograph the artwork. Typically, each item takes about 15 minutes. While appraisers enjoy engaging with clients, they need to concentrate to gather all necessary information efficiently.
Discussing Value with the Appraiser
Clearly define what you want appraised by providing the following details:
- Artist's full name
- Medium (e.g., bronze, painting, or print)
- Condition, especially if unsure about its value
Explain why you need the appraisal. The reason for appraisal affects its value as different markets have different standards. For instance, an item might be valued differently at a flea market compared to an art gallery.
Timing and Special Conditions
Specify the timeframe for the appraisal completion. If it’s urgent, such as needing an appraisal for 200 items before a moving date, communicate this clearly. If the appraiser has scheduling conflicts, they might refer you to someone with availability.
Identify any special requirements for examining your artwork?"such as needing a ladder or special clothing. While unexpected issues can arise, planning minimizes disruptions.
