Art Valuations
A professional art valuation gives you all the relevant information on your art, whether you need an art valuer for insurance companies, for market value, for family division or inherited art.
David Hulme is an approved art valuer for the Australian Government's Cultural Gifts Program, providing you with clear and detailed art appraisals.
Art Brokerage Services
We advise on value and discreetly broker the sale or purchase of a single artwork or an entire collection, and investigate the value of your art to maximise the return on sale.
Partner with Banziger Hulme for a clear and reliable estimation of the fair market value of works of art you own, want to sell, or purchase.
Valuations for Probate
With an inheritance or family division of artworks comes the task of not only to sort through, but also deciding how they are shared amongst beneficiaries of an estate.
Inherited collections can come with a great deal of sentimental value, but often the monetary value needs to be determined by a professional art valuer to ensure a fair distribution.
