Does anyone know a place on the internet to obtain the value of art for insurance purposes? [View all]

I have searched some, but found nothing free. This painting is not old, but the artist has died and I can find him mentioned on lots of sites, but no values given on any sales; just for-pay appraisal sites.

I asked my insurance co. where to get an appraisal, and they referred me to an appraisal company; so guess I'll have to spend money to find out.

I checked my copy of Davenport's and didn't find anything. Also nothing on the art value site I use. Vinca Dec 2011 #5

Thanks for that lead, I'll try it. northoftheborder Dec 2011 #6

If you are shipping it as the result of an eBay sale, the insurance value is the sale value. HopeHoops Dec 2011 #7
