Why value your collection?  

Valuing your fine art collection can be useful in a variety of scenarios. These include insurance, superannuation, financial reporting, asset validation, liquidation reports, estate planning and estate settlement.

Valuation documents can also prove useful as a pre-purchase report or as a guide for those seeking to privately resell a work. If you want us to sell one of your works for you, we can help you. To find out more about Resale Appraisal, click here

 

Submitting a work of art

Submitting a work of art for valuation is easy. All it takes is three simple steps:

1. Begin by sending us an email to artandcollectors@gmail.com that includes the following details of your work:

  • Title of the work (if known)

  • Artist full name

  • Dimensions (height x width)

  • Medium 

  • Where and when purchased

  • Original invoiced price (if available)

  • Date of original purchase (if available)

  • Whether a certificate of authenticity accompanies the painting

2. Email a clear photo of your work and the artist signature to artandcollectors@gmail.com – a phone photo is fine.

3. Wait for us to email you an initial valuations email, then we can get started!

 

Rates

The initial work to be valued is $275, then $220 for each subsequent valuation. For large collections we are also able to work at an hourly rate. If necessary, travel to and from your location is charged at $110 per hour.

We will begin valuing your work only once the valuation form, photos and payment are received. We will be in contact if further information is required. If you have time constraints that you need us to meet, please let us know in advance and we are happy to accommodate for you.

"Thank you for your visit today, it was most enjoyable. I appreciate your thoughtful information spread and look forward to receiving your appraisals of the art work at my brother in law’s home. It was a pleasant surprise to find someone so easy to talk to in regard to our needs as we have dealt with a range of people in the last few weeks who have made our life a slight bit more complicated than it should be. You made it so nice for a change, and I appreciate it so much. We look forward to receiving your appraisals."

Getting your art collection valued is not only sensible, it can also be thrilling – just ask a recent corporate client of ours. Unbeknownst to them, in the company collection was an original print by preeminent artist Lin Onus. Prior to valuation, they were intending to liquidate the work at an office equipment auction. After valuation however, they learned that its genuine value was approximately $3000. Why not sidestep the guesswork and discover the real value of your collection?
