Valuation

Art Valuation
Trusted advice for understanding your artwork’s value

Clients frequently contact us requiring professional valuations of their artworks for insurance, estate planning, or resale purposes. While Van Uffelen can provide valuations for works by local artists, we are not qualified or registered valuers. For comprehensive and independent assessments, we recommend consulting specialist professionals.

We work closely with some of New Zealand’s most respected and internationally recognised art valuation experts to ensure you receive authoritative, impartial, and market-aware reports.
