Appraisals

Straus Art Group provides professional art appraisal services for large and small collections across the country. Our professional staff conducts on-site inventory, documentation, and cataloging, and appraises collections for insurance, tax, and estate planning needs.

Public Art Appraisal 

Cities and public institutions hire Straus Art Group to appraise and advise on important art holdings. One example is the prized public sculpture by Pablo Picasso that was a gift by the artist to the city of Chicago.
