Appraisal of Art Objects 

The Museum of Wisconsin Art is often asked to evaluate works of art. As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, we are forbidden from doing so. There are many professional appraisers in the area and the following names are provided as a resource for those desiring to contact them. Many of them can do appraisals from photographs if you live out of the area. To do this they need good quality images showing detail and information of points of interest such as any inscriptions or provenance information, documentation by artist, framing labels, exhibition labels, dimensions, location of signature & date and any condition or restoration report.

This list of appraisers is provided for your convenience and is not endorsed by the Museum of Wisconsin Art.
