Artbusiness.com art appraisals are much more than just prices for your art. Each appraisal explains how the final price is determined, and includes additional comments relevant to your specific request. Other available services include ARTIST SIGNATURE IDENTIFICATION (you only pay if the name is positively identified), artist biographical information, artist research, consulting on whether or not to buy a work of art and how much to pay for it, consulting on how best to sell a work of art, and much more. For more information, see Services for Collectors.

RECOMMENDED FOR SELLERS: Consulting by phone which includes not only all price information that would be contained in an appraisal, but also a summary of current market conditions for the art or artist, strategies for selling, suggested initial asking prices, prices at which the art is likely to sell, recommendations on how or where best to sell, answers to any additional questions you might have about your art, and more.

If you need an immediate appraisal or price information, have questions about how to fill out the Appraisal Form, or are selling a work of art and would like to consult by phone about strategies, options, pricing, finding the best venues, or other particulars, please call 415.931.7875. You can also email services@artbusiness.com.

INSTRUCTIONS: Please complete as many fields as possible. Include text of any stickers or writing on the front or back of the art or its frame, the ownership history, the original purchase price when available (this does not affect current market value), receipts, guarantees, certificates, previous appraisals (with the appraiser name and appraisal date), and the pertinent text of any letters, papers, or articles discussing the art.

The more information you provide, whether or not you think it's important, the more accurate the appraisal. To learn more about the value and advantages of a professional art appraisal, read Art Appraisers, Appraiser Associations, and Art Valuation.

If you need help filling out the form or have any questions, please call 415.931.7875 or email services@artbusiness.com.

Turn-around time for a typical appraisal is 4-7 working days, less for single items. You will be notified if additional time is necessary.
