How to get an estimation of your artwork

How to sell an artwork

We offer to buy your work so that we can find a new buyer for it, among our collectors. We accept works that are likely to fit our identity, our values and our field of specialization. After estimating the value of the work, we will agree on the fairest purchase price, according to adapted criteria.

We are mainly interested in artworks of the 20th century, especially works by artists of the School of Paris, the partisans of abstraction and the surrealists. In an effort to open up to other artistic creations, we are also able to purchase certain contemporary artworks.

All types of artworks will be carefully examined, whether they are paintings (gouache, oil on canvas, watercolor, etc.), prints (lithographs, serigraphs, etchings, etc.), sculptures or ceramics.

We propose to study your artworks in depth and according to adapted criteria, in a short time, in order to give you the most accurate value.

Our field of expertise extends to prints (lithographs, serigraphs, etchings, etc.) as well as paintings (oil on canvas, gouache, watercolor, etc.), sculptures and ceramics. Our period of predilection extends essentially to the 20th century, with a particular interest in the artists of the School of Paris, the partisans of abstraction and the surrealists. We also value contemporary works.

For an inventory.

This service will first of all allow you to know the value of your assets. This can be very useful at certain moments in your life.

For example, an estimate is fundamental for the artworks which enter within the framework of a division, a donation or a succession. It will allow you to put a detailed figure on the inventory and to avoid an unfair distribution.

It is also important to make and regularly update the estimate of your artworks in order to be financially compensated by your insurance company in case of an accident, damage or theft, as it will know the replacement value of your work. This is the price to pay today to acquire works equivalent to yours, and not the purchase price.
