Tranquil Setting
Ever wonder what your Verdult painting is really worth? Well there are a number of ways to find out. But before you do take a look at our posts "What is the real price of Verdult artwork? and William Joseph Verdult - Where's My $5 million?"
The best way to find out about the cash value of a William Verdult painting is to:
- Look at what other paintings of similar kind are selling for on the retail market. You can do this by visiting verdultbluebook.com or Artnet.com;
- Another way is to get a formal assessment of the value by a certified appraiser who is knowledgeable of William Verdult art work. Here you have to be careful to avoid as we call them in our post on “Instead of Getting a Barrack's lawyer's Opinion Consult with a Qualified Appraiser.”
Why a formal appraisal?
Well it will do two things for you. First it will let someone who is really qualified in pouring over thousands of paintings and data points who has experience in what is going on in the market come up with the worth of your painting. Second, you can use this valuable information to not only insure your painting; the paintings value becomes part of your personal net worth which you can use on your personal financial statement, and even as collateral to secure a loan.
In getting a formal appraisal we recommend that you use one of the preeminent experts in the field on William Verdult artwork. The qualifications of the entity and its impeccable record of not being reversed by either the insurance company or the Internal Revenue service in 20 years are exceptional.
Most important the entity has a "lifetime Appraisal" program. For a small free, after the initial appraisal you can get an update of your appraisal any time you want.
