Art Advisory services, are a small, but important part of ARTSmart's service offering. After a formal appraisal, our clients often ask us to help them reach a specific goal regarding their personal property. Some wish to sell an object, others to acquire an obect or build a collection. In every case, our focus has always been to teach our clients what they need to know in order to  successfully evaluate, purchase or sell their art and antiques.  Most importantly,  Art Smart Boston has no present or future interest in the information (or objects!) we analyze. We do not receive payments for referrals to third parties. Our high ethical and professional standards set us apart and offer our clients a solution to valuing their personal property.

•  ArtSmart New England offers:
  
  Written, professional Art Advisory services in a timely manner.  Without research and documentation, information is unreliable, at best. Written material ensures information is easily understood and reduces the chance of miscommunication. We stand behind our research. We never insult our clients by offering them "free appraisals" in an attempt to buy or sell their items below cost. Instead, we acknowledge that our clients are intelligent consumers who deserve the respect and expertise we offer.
  
  From a single piece to an entire collection, our unparalled analysis, detailed research and thorough evaluation will help you make informed decisions. All the information, we provide is based on industry accepted standards. This includes: published auction records, access to art and antique databases, a library of more than 1,000 books and communication with the appropriate dealers and auction houses.  We also offer referrals to conservation and restoration services, shipping and storage companies.  You can feel confident that an appraisal or  Fair Market analysis from ArtSmart is a well-researched, unbiased accurate document.
