USPAP Compliant fine art appraisals tailored to your needs.
Whether you’re insuring a valuable piece, settling an estate, preparing for donation, or planning to sell. Each report is thoroughly researched, clearly written, and designed to meet the specific requirements of your intended use.
With formal training in appraisal methodology and extensive art market experience, I deliver reliable, professional valuations for collectors, attorneys, estate professionals, and institutions across Southern California.
Which Appraisal Service Pathway is Right for your Art?
Each appraisal service includes: a clear description of the item(s), professional photographs (unless provided by the client), detailed market research with comparable sales, a defined scope of work and intended use, and Certification of Appraisal Practice and USPAP compliance.
Insurance Appraisals
Determine the replacement value of your artwork. High-resolution photos, market analysis, and full documentation of each piece is included.
Estate & Trust Appraisals
Establish fair market value for estate and trust administration, date-of-death valuation, equitable distribution, and related tax or legal purposes. Reports are prepared for the assignment’s intended use and supported by appropriate market research.
Donation Appraisals
Our qualified appraisals make donations to museums & nonprofits smooth and effective. Through fulfilling IRS standards, comprehensive market research, and supporting materials required for Form 8283, JSK is a reliable hand to care for your artwork.
Resale Knowledge Appraisals
Understand what your artwork may realistically sell for in the appropriate secondary market. These appraisals provide fair market value guidance for decisions involving auction, gallery consignment, private sale, or family distribution.
Remote Appraisals
For clients outside the area or in need of a quick estimate, I offer virtual appraisals based on photographs and documentation for insurance reviews, resale planning, or collection management.
