Jeremy
Stone works with individuals who are both private
collectors and those who make the acquisition
decisions
for their companies. Over the past 30 years, Jeremy
Stone has assisted seasoned, sophisticated collectors
and those beginning to collect modern and contemporary
art.
Appraisal reports are needed for
many different purposes: Charitable
Contribution, Estate
Tax, Division of Property,
Insurance Coverage, Gifting and Sales
Advice. In all cases,
the works of art need to be examined in person
for condition, signature and medium,
as well as measured
and photographed. Documents relating to the acquisition
of the work should be available for review, as
well
as any prior appraisals, catalogues, books or articles
should also be made available.
The
artist
and the specific work(s) are researched for
replacement value, fair market value, marketable
cash or liquidation, depending on the purpose of
the report. All auction and gallery market levels
are carefully analyzed and scrutinized.
As an Accredited Senior Appraiser, Fine Art and
Member of the American Society of Appraisers (ASA),
all
of
our
appraisal reports
are in compliance with USPAP (Uniform
Standards of the Professional Appraisal Practice).
Appraisal
reports are private financial documents. We respect
and protect the privacy of our clients. Section
4.1 of the Principles of Appraisal Practice and
Code of Ethics of the American Society of Appraisers
states: "The fact that an appraiser has been
employed to make an appraisal is a confidential
matter. In some instances, the very fact of employment
may be information that a client, whether private
or public agency, prefers for valid reasons to keep
confidential. Knowledge by outsiders of the fact
of employment of an appraiser may jeopardize a client's
proposed enterprise or transaction. Consequently
it is improper for the appraiser to disclose the
fact of his/her engagement, unless the client approves
of the disclosure or clearly has no interest in
keeping the fact of the engagement confidential,
or unless the appraiser is required by due process
of law to disclose the fact of his/her engagement."
With this in mind, a selected list of clients is
available only upon request. We only list clients
as references with their express permission. |
