Appraisals (taxaties)

Evaluating art is an art in itself. Apart from differentiating between original or fake, ever fluctioating markets, worldwide economical or political changes, upcoming auctions or collections about to be sold all have their influence on the value of art. So how does it work? An art dealer will follow all the above mentioned trends and take into consideration historical prices. As a dealer in general invests his or her own money in an art object he or she will take care to pay the right price.
