| A Personal Note From Anita |
|
Insurance Coverage - Many policies have very limited coverage for theft or damage for items that are most vulnerable to these losses. Contact your insurance agent for advice on obtaining a "floater" to your homeowner's policy to ensure prompt claims settlement in the event that this should happen.

| Condition - Condition - Condition |
| Art prices books, CD-ROMs and databases cover almost exclusively art that sells at auction. Much art that sells at auction, with the exception of the major auction galleries, is inferior in various ways. It may be damaged, badly restored, second-rate, atypical, or poor quality-- not good enough to sell at galleries-- so sellers get rid of it at auctions. This problem art sells for less than good or better quality pieces in good or better condition, but art prices you get from a list don't tell you that. They don't include condition report statements (except Sothey's, Christie's and the larger regional auction galleries), about how good or bad the art may have been, or other sale price explanations. All you get is a bunch of dollar amounts taken out of context-- and nothing more. If you compare your good quality art in good condition to problem art in poor condition, you can value way too low. |
