ArtworkValue: what this sitemap covers
ArtworkValue gives owners of paintings, drawings and prints a first idea of what a piece might be worth. You upload photos and receive an AI-generated estimate with a value range, not a fixed price. The site also explains artists, art types and the appraisal process.

How the estimate works
Photograph the whole front in daylight, the signature up close and the back with any labels. Add what you know, such as a name, the size or where the work came from. The result shows a realistic range, a confidence level and whether the piece looks more like a print or an original. Two works of the same size can differ enormously in value, mainly because of the artist, the medium, condition and provenance – see also how to tell an original from a print.
When an estimate is not enough
Heirs, insurers, courts and tax offices usually need a written document. ArtworkValue offers appraisals by independent experts whose signature is notarized, at fixed prices per artwork rather than a share of the value.
