“The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity.” – Giacometti
At Artrium, we are committed to three fundamental principles: delivering unparalleled expertise, maintaining utmost transparency, and honoring art’s intrinsic values.
We specialize in delivering top-notch personal property appraisals, collection management, expert witness testimony, and advisory services.
My contracted assessment record is vast in scale and scope, and I am passionate about competency and transparency in the fine art industry.
I am honored to be an Accredited Member of the International Society of Appraisers, a prestigious group featuring some of the industry’s most highly trained personal property appraisers. I am current on USPAP courses, combining over 20 years of fine art appraisal education and experience.
Artrium is more than a service; it’s a commitment to excellence and accuracy.
Thank you for entrusting us with your personal property needs.
Warm Regards,
