We entertain offers to sell 19th and 20th century American and
European paintings. Our expert staff is ready, willing and very
able to assist in identifying and evaluating your paintings
(please see
this page
for prices we are paying). But we need a little help from
you.
It is very difficult to describe art of any kind over the phone.
In general, we would prefer an image, either a color photograph
or a digital image in jpeg format to be sent with a letter.
After we have gone over your images and your letter, we can call
or write with answers. Your letter should include information
about signatures, dates, labels, condition of the item and
size.
If you call, we will try to answer your questions but we will
ask for a photo to be sure of our evaluation.
Appraisals
We can also help you with appraisals on paintings. The fee
for a written appraisal will be based on the time spent by the
staff member. Please give us a call first to discuss your item
to see if we can be of help.
Then you will need to send a photo through the mail or
through email as a jpeg with the following:
- Image including detail of signature
- Dimensions
- Medium
- Framing information
- Other relevant provenance information (labels,
exhibition history)

Sell To Us
The gallery prefers that sellers provide a price for the
work they wish to sell. If the gallery agrees to make an offer,
the seller must be in a position to immediately respond to the
offer. Our offers are only good for a short term, and will be
discussed on an individual basis.
Consign with Us
The gallery also is willing to work on a consignment basis.
The gallery sets up consignments on either a percentage basis or
a net basis to the owner. We suggest that it is realistic to set
up a six month consignment period. We do insure all works on
consignment while hanging here at the gallery.
