Collections in Context
 
provides expert advice and qualified appraisals for private collectors, cultural organizations, and museums.
 
Based in the Washington D.C. and the Boston metro areas, Collections in Context offers collectors accredited, qualified written appraisals that conform to the recent IRS guidelines for non-cash charitable donations. We also write qualified appraisals for estate tax purposes or for insurance replacement values.
 
Each year, during selected winter months, Collections in Context offers its services to clients in the Miami area.
 
A full-service art consultation firm, we advise clients on the on-going care, display, and transporting of their collections. We also supervise a collection's storage and display requirements. We'll assist you in obtaining the correct preservation or conservation treatments for your art works. In trying to anticipate the needs of our clients, we are glad to conduct extensive research for publications, for personal catalogues, or for provenance history. We will help you with all aspects of your collections.
 
We specialize in: 
  • Modern and contemporary art
  • The art of Israeli and Jewish artists
  • Judaica artifacts and books
  • Antiquities
  • Historical papers
  •  
    For clients wishing who do desire a formal appraisal and who wish simply to get an estimate of the current value of their art works, we offer, for a fee, a "Professional Opinion of Value." The POV, written according to appraisal standards, simply states a current fair market value of your object or art work.
