Appraisal Services

Gratz Gallery offers comprehensive appraisal services specific to individual artworks or complete collections. Margaret L. Gratz, ISA AM, is an accredited, personal property appraiser, dedicated exclusively to the appraisal of fine art. 

Fine art appraisals are needed for a great variety of reasons. They are essential in the process of insuring your artwork. Insurance companies need to know how much the art is worth in order to write policies for fine art owners. Insurance adjusters need to know how much to pay out on claims that are being made on either lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed art. Accountants and tax preparers need accurate art value information for inheritance, tax preparation, donation, or other accounting purposes. Some collectors may want to know whether their damaged art is worth repairing or should be replaced based on an accompanied art appraisal.
