[WSBAPT] Art appraisals, estate administration

[Ralph Maimon]

Rachel et al.,

I called Stonington gallery and got the name of an art appraiser, Erin Fossum  206 271 7966.  Years may be a problem but I am not sure if there would be much of a difference as to value of art over a couple or a few months, unless something very notorious occurred to the artist in that time.   But I assume that the appraiser can say the value would be the same.   You can certainly check with the appraiser with the name of the artist, to check on that issue.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Art appraisals, estate administration

Hi all -

Does anyone have experience handling art appraisals during estate administration? If decedent was a well-known local artist, I'm assuming his art would appraised according to the market at the time of the appraisal, not necessarily as of his date of death if the appraisal took place several months later (not sure how what would work anyway).

Any referrals are welcome! Thanks so much.


Warmly,
Rachel
