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. That is what I do best.

Have you ever wondered why two seemingly identical prints by the same artist can have vastly different price tags? The artist is usually not involved at all – or if so, minimally – and they can be either authorized or unauthorized reproductions. If the print does not meet the artist’s criteria, it is destroyed.

We turn to the artists and creatives to remind us of beauty and to give us hope when hope is flagging. Of course, throughout time, artists have addressed the whole spectrum of human emotion and the human condition. Kadir Nelson’s new painting, “After the Storm” is a perfect example of the theme.

Early on in our conversation, Adrienne answered the “When” question by saying “If you can walk around your house and you determine that you have more than 5 artworks that exceed $10,000 each in value, you should consult an agent or firm that specializes in fine art insurance.” I was wrong.

Meet artists or go to experts’ lectures hosted by the galleries. Go to vetted outdoor art fairs where the artists are there to meet and buy from directly.
