Rates for art
authentication
We only propose a fee for authentication
research after review of your artwork and only if it is valuable to make an investigation. We are representatives for our Clients in this process and can not guarantee the authentication.
As we said we don't accept every
authentication research, the provenance has to be
clearly established, never we will submit a file with a doubtful origin, if the artwork is a manifestly copy of an
original art, if the artwork was submitted several times before unless new elements justify a new authentication
file, if the artwork is too much damaged and lost his initial value.
Each project is based on the information provided by Client and can be
assessed upon request.
An authentication fee for an artwork is
based on the value in a fair market ( auction house value).
The fee is equal to a % of the fair market value of the painting
itself. This % may vary from 5 % up to 20 %.
An authentication will take at least one month for accomplishment,
usually several months.
