Art Appraisers
How can I find out how much an artwork is worth?
We recommend that an independent appraiser be consulted to determine the value of a piece of art, an antique, or other object.
Keep in mind that appraisals are done for various reasons such as insurance, valuation, & provenance. Members of a professional appaisers association are to follow a code of ethics set forth by the organization.
Here are two national organizations who specialize in appraisals:
Appraisers Association of America
Art Dealers Association of America Art Appraisal Service
artnet.com and artprice.com are two commercial sites which offer art price information for a fee.
Price guides and auction catalogs are another source for finding art prices. Depending on your object, price guides may be available in print and online.
