Fees


The fee for a written art appraisal is never based upon the value of your art.  It is based strictly upon a set hourly fee required for research and report writing in addition to any travel expenses incurred which is always agreed upon by signed contract prior to the undertaking of any appraisal. A formal written appraisal may require or warrant a personal visit to inspect the artwork.

Two (2) original signed copies of the appraisal with digital images will be furnished upon completion of the report to you and to you only.  A read-only copy can be furnished on CD upon request.
