The Future of Online Art Appraisal: Get Your Valuation Without a Phone Call
If you’d rather send a text or an email than pick up the phone, you’re not alone. Online art appraisal services make it easy to get a professional valuation for insurance, estate planning, donation, or market analysis—all without the need for a phone conversation. As a digitally native next-generation appraiser, Lindsey Own streamlines the entire process through text and email, secure online submissions, and virtual meetings on FaceTime or Zoom (if you prefer). No phone calls, no hassle—just fast, expert appraisals on your terms.
Why Online Art Appraisals?
Traditional in-person appraisals can be time-consuming and inconvenient. Coordinating schedules, arranging transport, and meeting in person often add unnecessary complexity. Online art appraisals offer a modern alternative, allowing clients to get accurate valuations from the comfort of their homes. Whether you're an art collector, an executor of an estate, or simply curious about the value of a piece you own, a virtual appraisal is a seamless and professional way to get the information you need—on your schedule.
What Types of Appraisals Can Be Done Online?
Although it is best practice to view pieces in person, in some instances, many appraisals can be handled entirely online, including:
Insurance Appraisals: so long as your insurance carrier allows.
Fair Market Value Appraisals: Ideal for sales or estate planning.
Equitable Distribution Appraisals: Perfect for estates, divorces, and legal settlements.
Preliminary Assessments: Quick evaluations that produce a restricted appraisal report.
Market Analysis: Understand the potential value of an artwork before deciding to buy or sell.
What Types of Objects Work Best for Virtual Appraisals?
Not everything can be appraised remotely, but many types of art work well for online valuations. These include:
Paintings, Drawings, and Prints: Works on canvas, paper, or board with clear provenance.
Sculptures and Decorative Arts: Smaller, well-documented pieces with visible markings.
New Media & Digital Art: Many digital or new-media works can be appraised virtually.
What You Need for an Online Art Appraisal
To get the most accurate appraisal, make sure to provide:
High-Resolution Images: Clear, well-lit photos of the front, back, signature, and any labels or inscriptions.
Detailed Object Information: Artist name, title, dimensions, medium, and condition.
Provenance and Documentation: Any receipts, prior appraisals, exhibition history, or certificates of authenticity.
Additional Context: If the item has been restored or altered, those details matter.
