Value in this field turns on date, subject, scale, condition and exhibition history, and prices for individual artists can move quickly. Each work is examined in person and assessed against the most relevant sale evidence, and we explain how we reach every figure.
If you decide to sell, we advise on the right saleroom and negotiate the terms. The auction house sells, and you are paid directly.
To discuss a work or collection, please contact Robert Coram James on 020 7305 7360 or at info@coramjames.com.
