Art Appraisals and Valuations on your Artworks Maybe you own an artwork and have wondered what its value is and whether it should be insured. We offer short internet appraisals on international and Australian pictures free of charge. Email us your  art enquiry for a free internet valuation. Often, a short art appraisal is not enough, especially when it comes to insurance matters. That is when you need a written, fully bound valuation document for one artwork or for an entire collection. Clients such as Hunters Hill Council, the Manly Art Gallery and Museum, the Dubbo Regional Art Gallery, numerous corporate and private clients have used our services to value and document their artworks. Our art valuer David Hulme values Australian and international art, including oil paintings, works on paper, drawings, etchings, lithographs and other limited edition art prints, photographs and sculpture. Your valuation document includes a full description of the artwork, colour photographs and of course the insurance values and / or market values. Plus you’ll find information on the current dealers in the artist’s work and a full biography on the artists, giving the context and relevant information about a single work or a whole art collection. Just e mail us your  art enquiry. We can also produce a comprehensive catalogue of your collection for easy reference and authentication reports on works of art. For example, we have worked on paintings by Roy de Maistre and John Constable to have them properly attributed and authenticated. For clients in the Sydney area with collections that need inspecting and appraising, we will come to your location. If you are in Australia or overseas, please contact us on info@bhfineart.com for more information.
