FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About NYC Fine Art Appraisals
Do you visit apartments and co-ops in Manhattan for art appraisals?
Yes. We conduct on-site visits at co-ops, condos, townhouses, and galleries throughout Manhattan and the other boroughs. For pieces with clear photographs and documentation, we can also complete the valuation remotely.
Can you appraise a collection for a New York estate or Surrogate's Court proceeding?
Yes. We prepare USPAP-compliant appraisals for estate tax filings and probate matters, documenting fair market value in a format suitable for Surrogate's Court and IRS review.
How long does a fine art appraisal in NYC typically take?
Most single-piece and small-collection appraisals are completed within 2 to 3 weeks of our site visit or receipt of documentation. Larger estate collections and pieces requiring provenance research take longer. We provide a timeline before work begins.
What credentials do your appraisers hold?
Our appraisers hold credentials with leading organizations such as the ASA, ISA, and AAA, and every report is prepared in accordance with USPAP, the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.
Can I use your appraisal for insurance scheduling on a New York policy?
Yes. We prepare appraisals specifically for insurance scheduling and coverage verification, documenting condition, provenance, and fair market value in a format insurance carriers recognize.
What do I need to provide to get a quote?
Start with clear photos of the piece (front, back, and any signatures), the artist name, medium, dimensions, and the purpose of the appraisal. If you have provenance documents or a prior appraisal, include those as well.
