The Art Appraisal follows a simple process: you submit basic details and photographs, Zbirka reviews whether a useful Art Appraisal Report can be prepared from them, and after the Inquiry is accepted and payment is received, you receive a PDF Art Appraisal Report by email.
The initial Art Appraisal requires photographs of the front, back, signature or an important detail, together with dimensions, artist and any other information you have about the artwork.
Zbirka first reviews the submitted materials to determine whether a meaningful and responsible preliminary market opinion can be prepared.
If the Inquiry is accepted, payment details are sent. An Art Appraisal Report costs 20 €.
After payment is received, the PDF Art Appraisal Report is prepared and sent by email within 48 hours.
