CALIFORNIA ART APPRAISERS GUIDE

Art appraisers guide for professional art appraisal services located in California. Having a current appraisal for your artwork is essential in the event of damage or loss. We strongly recommend maintaining an up-to-date art appraisal for all valuable artworks. Knowing the replacement value of your artwork is crucial, and you should discuss this with your insurance agent to ensure your collection is properly insured.

Art appraisals can serve different purposes and reflect various values. A qualified professional art appraiser can guide you in understanding these distinctions and help you determine the type of appraisal that best suits your needs. Current art appraisals are valuable for various purposes, including insurance claims, art sales, and the equitable distribution of assets, such as in estates or trusts. The type of appraisal needed depends on its intended use. Art appraisers can provide the current Fair Market Value (FMV), Retail Replacement Value (RRV), or Liquidation Value (LV) of an artwork. Additionally, the Internal Revenue Service also requires a qualified art appraisal for property donations exceeding a specified value.

For a deeper understanding of certification, professional appraisers follow the standards set by member organizations specializing in fine art appraisals.
