MAXIMIZE YOUR DOWNSIZE  

NelsonArt also offers a quick, cost-effective way to double-check the value of art you plan to sell at an estate sale or distribute to family members. Even experienced estate sale organizers may not always recognize pieces of quality art. For a small fee, NelsonArt will examine the artworks and indicate those which might be of higher caliber or more saleable than originally considered. Further appraisal and/or authentication is thereafter at your discretion.

"It almost slipped past us..."

As an example, some time ago I spotted a pair of prints in dirty, damaged frames in the “throwaway” pile of an estate sale in the process of organization. I recognized the artist, whose work had recently experienced an upsurge in popularity. I informed the heirs of the estate, who relayed the information to the sale organizer. The prints were purchased by a collector for $2,000.

"I just want to know what it's worth"

NelsonArt provides verbal approximations of value for $100/hour or part thereof, including research time if necessary.
