Fees

Fees are based on the time required and the purpose of the work.

Talk It Through First

You are welcome to call 312-337-1782. Sending photographs online can be helpful, but it is not required. If you prefer to discuss the work by telephone or pay by check, that is perfectly fine. Online payment is not required.

Initial Consultation

One-hour minimum: $125.

If photographs—or a brief conversation—show that an artwork has little value and a formal appraisal would not be useful, there is no charge for saying so.

Written Appraisals

Minimum for a written, signed appraisal on letterhead: $250.

The final fee depends on the number of works, the research required, and the intended use of the appraisal.

Art Installation & Display

Art hanging service: $1,000 per day.

Advice on placement, grouping, lighting, and framing is included when appropriate.

If you are unsure which service you need, call 312-337-1782, begin with photographs, or contact me.
