Join Lori Spector, AAA, Phillips, in conversation with Sabine Wilson, Ph.D., AAA, as they discuss how appraisers can best work with auction houses.

Questions addressed will include:

  • How are estimates set?
  • What is a guarantee and how is it secured?  
  • When an auction house develops a sale, what are they looking for?   What do they typically not accept?
  • Are works authenticated with the artist/artists estates? 
  • How can you find out the sale price after a sale?    
  • What are the next steps after a piece is bought in?
  • How is a reserve set and can appraisers access this information? 
  • How can an appraiser best approach an auction house to gain information?
  • What information is an auction house never likely to provide?

This is a recording of a webinar previously held on August 24, 2021.
