Advice before purchase, sale, auction or collection decisions, with attention to market route, condition and documentation.
Before buying, consider condition, attribution, provenance information and existing records. Before selling, consider suitable market routes and realistic expectations as well. Retaining a work may also be a sensible choice.
Advice considers market prospects, condition and documentation. Possible sales routes and auction preparation can be discussed. A price or buyer cannot be guaranteed. Intermediary services and commissions are agreed separately.
Photographs and existing descriptions help with the first discussion. Condition questions and a reliable appraisal may require examination of the original. An attribution needs supporting evidence.
Send object details, photographs, known provenance and existing records. For a purchase, the offer and a decision deadline are also helpful. Explain your objective. Research, number of works, documentation and coordination affect the work; services and fees are agreed personally.
Attribution and research
A publicly reported dispute illustrates why attribution, condition and value need separate examination. This reference explores the professional questions using published information.
