Written by Kirsten Rabe Smolensky, JD, ISA CAPP As an appraiser, I have worked on a lot of insurance claims , including losses due to fire, theft, transit damage, and flood. Most insurance companies will require an appraisal to insure these items. For example, assume that you have three nice, original paintings in your home.

Many Art Appraisers also work as Art Advisors it is a natural and likely channel for collectors as Art Appraisers are independent of a Gallery or Artist and really do work on behalf of their clients, and do not and should not have a stake in whether a client buys art or the level of value the art is.

Whatever the reason, here are some pointers if you want to sell your paintings: Don’t change anything! If there is a crack in the wood or glass, don’t try and fix it because you may cause further damage to the frame or harm the painting or poster. Leave that type of work to the professionals.

Provenance – Regardless of how the piece looks upon close inspection, it is essential that collectors ask questions about where it came from and how it came to be offered for sale. Learning a piece’s provenance will also give collectors a means of better evaluating its condition by comparing it to other known pieces from the same maker.
