Have a painting valued in Düsseldorf
What is your painting worth? Dr Mayme Neher values paintings and works on paper in Düsseldorf and across Germany. Initial guidance starts with photographs and documents; a reliable written appraisal usually requires examination of the original.
From initial guidance to a written appraisal
Start with photographs of the front, back, signature and any notable details, together with dimensions and provenance information. The next step may be research, an examination at the studio or a visit to the work’s location.
An initial assessment helps you decide what to do next. A written appraisal documents condition, art-historical context, comparable values and the purpose of the valuation, such as sale, inheritance or insurance.
Fees depend on the work, research, visits and scope of documentation. The assignment and fee framework are agreed before work begins.
Scope
A reliable appraisal combines inspection of the original, condition assessment, art-historical classification, comparative values and a clear valuation purpose.
Suitable for
Sale, insurance, estate, division of assets, collection management, restoration decisions or legal and institutional questions.
First questions
Can an initial assessment be made from photos?
Photos can allow an initial orientation, especially if front, back, signature, labels, damage, dimensions and documents are available. A reliable written appraisal usually requires inspection of the original.
When do I need a written appraisal?
A written appraisal is useful when a value must be explained for an estate, insurance, sale, division of assets or a legal question.
