Benefits and parameters of a formal art appraisal
~ A current documented appraisal of your fine art positions you for full value insurance reimbursement in the event of loss; otherwise, your homeowner’s policy or renter’s coverage limits loss to a flat rate.
~ Professional art appraisal documentation also provides proof of value during any legal proceeding; without which, a work of art’s value amounts to a matter of taste and emotional attachment—neither of which hold up very well in court!
~ An art appraisal usually is good for a limited number of years, generally 5 years; subsequently an updated appraisal [at a discounted cost to you from us] is important to reflect market fluctuation.

Ninya is not only a delightful person but also very knowledgeable regarding art. She has sold art for me and also for a cousin in Denver and we are both so happy to know her and value her expertise. I trust her advise and don't doubt for a second her appraisal of artwork. This lady knows her stuff.
