What We Review
We specialize in 20th and 21st-century paintings, works on paper, and signed prints—particularly works that have been in private collections, estates, or acquired from galleries.
We're looking for
- • Original paintings and drawings
- • Signed and numbered prints, lithographs, screenprints
- • Works with signatures, gallery labels, or exhibition history
- • Art from estates, collections, or purchased through galleries
We typically don't work with
- • Mass-produced canvas prints or open-edition posters
- • Decorative art from furniture or home goods retailers
- • Digital prints or reproductions without artist signatures
Not sure if your work fits? Submit it anyway. If we're not the right fit, we'll let you know quickly and suggest other options when possible.

For artwork owners, not artists
Selling artwork you own? We can help — whether you inherited it, purchased it, or received it as a gift. We do not accept submissions from artists for their own work.
How It Works
Important Details
No — we focus on helping people sell artwork they own, not artwork they created. Whether you inherited a piece, bought it years ago, or received it as a gift, we're happy to help. But if you're an artist looking to sell your own work, we're not the right fit.
We review every submission personally. Within 48 hours, you'll receive a response with our initial assessment, including whether the work is something we can help with and, if so, a preliminary sense of value and recommended approach.
We consider recent auction results, private sale comparables, the artist's current market trajectory, condition, provenance, and exhibition history. For consignments, we discuss pricing strategy with you before listing.
Commission varies depending on the work's value and complexity of sale. We discuss terms transparently before any agreement. For outright purchases, there is no commission—you receive a direct offer.
It depends on the work and market conditions. Some pieces sell within weeks; others may take several months to find the right buyer. We provide regular updates and can discuss timeline expectations upfront.
We don't publish a strict minimum. We focus on works that were acquired through galleries, auctions, or serious collectors—or inherited from collections where fine art was valued. We look for signatures, provenance, or other markers of authenticity. If you're unsure, submit it—we review everything personally and respond within 48 hours.
Yes. We work with executors, families, and estate attorneys to evaluate and sell collections. We can handle single works or entire collections, and are experienced in navigating the particular considerations of estate sales.
Prefer to discuss first?
We are happy to have a confidential conversation about your collection before you submit any details.
