We offer professional evaluations of Soutine paintings and drawings globally, prioritizing your safety and convenience. Our team can examine your artwork at a location of your choice, such as your home, office, bank, attorney’s office, restorer’s studio, art storage facility, hotel, yacht, or even aboard an airplane during your travels. If you're considering purchasing a Soutine, we can assess the piece at art galleries, auction houses, or other venues. We also work with institutions, conducting evaluations at government offices, law enforcement agencies, universities, libraries, financial institutions, museums, and religious organizations. For insurance and liability reasons, evaluations are not conducted at our facilities.
