Art Appraisal and Valuation

Irvine Contemporary offers professional and confidential appraisal and valuation services for insurance, market valuation, and general collection assessment. Based on your needs and documentation requirements, our valuation services may include detailed cataloguing with images and descriptions of works for insurance and provenance documentation.

Art Collection Management Services

We offer a full suite of services for valuation, acquisitions, resales, confidential auction representation, authentication and attribution.

Corporate Art Collections

Art collections can shape and represent the public and private face of corporations. Options to build an in-house collection or sponsoring the arts externally represent a few of the ways this can be achieved. We work closely with corporations seeking to build a collection that reflects the values and beliefs of their company and stakeholders. We also provide advice and research on acquisitions for investment and long-term value.

We provide public and private seminars for learning more about all aspects of contemporary art, including art collecting, the dynamics of the art market, art history and trends, and art investing.
