Is this an official appraisal?
No. It is an independent opinion based on listed gallery prices, to help you decide and negotiate.
Do galleries or artists pay you?
Never. We do not sell art and take no commissions, so we have no reason to push a price up.
What if the gallery hides the price?
Send it anyway. We tell you the range to expect before you ask, so you are not surprised.
What happens to my photo?
We use it only to read the artwork details. It stays private and we delete it as soon as your report is sent.
Which countries and currencies?
Any. Our price base covers galleries in 27 countries, and we answer in the currency of the price you were given.
How fast is it?
Within 48 hours, usually sooner. Every report is checked by a person before it reaches you.
