Verdult Art Market Index

Yazzy's a www.williamverdult.com Private Auction

As part of the launch of its new web site, Yazzy's at www.williamverdult.com is featuring a private auction for art enthusiast and investors.

The Auction is by Invitation Only and will be online on September 1-2 , 2007.

The auction will be held at www.williamverdult.com.

Here is how the program works: At least every three months a Private Auction is held by invitation. During the private auction three things take place:

1. First rare works not seen by the public eye are presented to invited guests.

2. The items presented to guests will have great value, in most cases works will have already been appraised by the National Institute of Appraisers and their full market value will have been established; and

3. A great value will be passed on to invited guests. In other words not only will the art work be rare, guests will have the rare opportunity of acquiring the work at minimum cost.

Instead of Getting a Barrack's lawyer's Opinion Consult with a Qualified Appraiser

Recently we have had a number of inquiries concerning the value of art work. We caution art lovers and investors to be wary of individuals giving cursory opinions concerning the value of artwork. We suggest that art lovers and investors consult with a qualified independent third party appraiser who are sanctioned and licensed and who have experience in the artwork in question.

We have taken several actions to make the value of Verdult artwork is more transparent.

These actions include publishing recent cash sales of Verdult artwork, sharing this sale data with major web sites that track artists and the value of their art, and developing a data base for the sale of Verdult artwork.

There is verifiable data that exists concerning cash sales of Verdult artwork, as well as documented appraisals of Verdult artwork.

In addition, as we have previously mentioned in our posts, that Verdult artwork has basic bench marks depending upon what market you are looking at. See our posts on Verdult artwork value. In conjunction with the information that we will publish on cash sales we suggest you consult with a qualified third party appraiser.

It is also important to note that a qualified third party appraiser will not give you a cursory opinion on the value of an artwork. Before giving any sort of an opinion on value, a sanctioned and qualified appraiser will take an in-depth look at such things as:
1) Artist Biographical Directory
2) Library of Who’s Who’s in the arts
3) National and International Directory of artists signatures
4) International auction records
5) Art Sales Index
6) Art resource and Price Guide
7) And Priority electronic data base of prices.

In addition, a sanctioned appraiser will provide the method of evaluation, assumptions and general conditions, any limiting conditions, research references, and qualifications of the appraiser.

Taking a look at the art market in general:
According to New York Art, walk around Chelsea these days and you can practically hear money buzzing in the air. Powerhouse galleries such as Matthew Marks and PaceWildenstein have extended their empires with extra showrooms. Younger guns like Leo Koenig and Casey Kaplan are graduating into grander spaces. And almost every weekend, some former gallery director is going into business for himself. It’s not just Chelsea. The whole contemporary-art market has shifted into overdrive. Playing to today’s competitive collectors, the Armory Show’s opening gala earlier this month offered three-tiered access: $1,000 to enter the art fair at five o’clock, $500 a half-hour later, and $250 for seven. But by five, the booths of the hot dealers had already been besieged by dozens of collectors and art consultants, invited in at noon by their clients; many works by sought-after artists were either sold out or held on reserve (some on “double reserve”).
