From
a Museum Director:
“Working with Jeremy Stone, be it in providing me with a full appraisal of artist David Ireland’s complex art estate, or the valuation of a collection of Bay Area art that I not long ago donated to my alma mater UC Davis was a great pleasure. I deem Jeremy and her fine associates to be consummate professionals. The quality of the research they conduct and documentation they generate for their clients is both impressive and unassailable. It is amongst the best I have encountered over many years of assisting collectors with their donations to many American museums and foundations.” -Jock Reynolds, The Henry J. Heinz II Director, Yale University Art Gallery
From
Sotheby's:
"Thank you so much. Excellent. You are a pleasure to work with. You have given us a wealth of exquisite ideas, and we are very grateful to you. Much appreciation.
You are immensely helpful. We are reviewing the options and will be back in touch with you soon.." -Warren P. Weitman, Jr., Chairman, Sotheby's North and South America
From
an Underwriter:
"I recently reviewed the appraisal material Jeremy Stone prepared for Dr. _____'s art collection. As I view appraisals for jewelry, art, antiques, etc. daily which come into our office from around the country, it is always a pleasure to review a professional, well-written and comprehensive appraisal. This certainly describes the work she did for him. As most appraisers don't hear from insurance underwriters very often, I wanted to share my appreciation for the quality and depth of information Jeremy Stone provided. It is greatly appreciated and certainly assists us in placing coverage on our insured's fine art." -Jan Weyhrich, Marine Insurance Program Manager, Property & Casualty General Underwriting, State Farm Insurance, Bloomington, Illinois. Replacement Value Appraisal Report
From Selected Collectors and other Clients:
"Thank you for a truly outstanding job on the appraisal. Interesting, comprehensive - I appreciate the special work you put into it.". -Collector, San Francisco, CA, Replacement Value Appraisal Report, Insurance Coverage
The IRS Art Panel did an appraisal of our painting and issued its report of Fair Market Value. The IRS Panel made a number of mistakes as to the facts about the painting and its comparables, which resulted in faulty conclusions, a valuation which we knew was clearly wrong and state tax consequences. To reverse the state tax department we had to show that the IRS report was in error. We were put in contact with Jeremy Stone and engaged her services to rebut the IRS's conclusions. Jeremy did a thorough and careful examination of the painting, its provenance and its comparables and issued a thoughtful and detailed report. We prevailed in our tax appeal due to Jeremy's fine work. -Attorney, CT, FMV Estate Tax/IRS appraisal, CT
