What should you know before requesting an appraisal?
What is a fine-art appraisal?+
It is an independent opinion of value for identified artwork, prepared for a specific client, intended use, intended users, value type and effective date. It is not a universal price that applies to every purpose, market or date.
Why do the value type and effective date matter?+
The intended use determines the defined value type, such as fair market value, market value or replacement value, and the date at which that value is considered. An estate may require a date of death, a loss claim a date of loss, and a divorce a date set by the relevant jurisdiction. A current value cannot simply be substituted for a required historical date.
Is an appraisal the same as an auction estimate or an offer to buy?+
No. An auction estimate is prepared for a particular sale context. An appraisal is an independent value opinion for an agreed purpose, market and effective date. It is not an offer to buy, a reserve recommendation or a guarantee of a sale price.
