I will evaluate your art for free to determine if it's worth a full evaluation.

What got me into art

The Britnell art gallery was a staple in the Toronto community for the last one hundred years. As a young man I was fortunate enough to meet the owner of this long established gallery. I met him at his home. He had a large collection of 17th and 18th century portraits.

I became fascinated with his artwork and decided to try selling artwork. I did so for many years on eBay and then bought and sold through auction houses and privately. Twenty years has gone by but I will still remember the day that got me fascinated in fine art.

When valuing art, start by taking photos of the front, back, close-ups, and the signature. Include measurements and any info about previous owners. Email all details for a prompt appraisal report. Usually finished in under 4 days.

My Process

At Artquote.ca, I offer affordable fine art authentication services. If the artwork's value doesn't cover the cost of the appraisal, I won't charge you. I provide a comprehensive analysis considering factors like the primary marketplace, the value of the piece, and local/international selling options.

By examining comparable sales, I help you determine the appropriate price range for your artwork, giving you an accurate assessment of current market trends. My goal is to empower artists and art enthusiasts with fair and transparent appraisals, helping them make informed choices in the art market.

I would love to work with you.

Please email artwork details to INFO@ARTQUOTE.CA for authentication. If approved, proceed to online store to purchase authentication.
