Michael Johnson Fine Arts - Free Estimate Form

Please fill out the information below and Michael Johnson Fine Arts will E-Mail you an estimate of what your painting is worth. Original oil paintings and watercolors only. Please read the information below carefully.

This is not an official appraisal. The information you receive is not for purposes of insurance, auditing, taxation, trust or estate value. To do this we would have to see the actual piece of art. When appraising a piece of art, many factors are taken into consideration such as; authenticity, condition, subject matter, signature, medium, date, etc. For the purposes of what we will do here it should be understood that this estimate will be made from an average of auction records over the last decade or those years paintings by this artist auctioned and were recorded.

For a more accurate estimate, you should enclose a photograph of the art and mail it with the following information to us (contact) so we can see the actual piece. Enclose your physical address or E-mail address and we will respond. Please allow 10 days for the estimate based on volume.
