How Do I Value My Howard Behrens Painting?
Howard Behrens paints landscapes influenced by Monet and Van Gogh. Sunlight also heavily influences Behrens’ paintings, with a palette knife as his main tool. His paintings have wide recognition and command thousands of dollars, as of August 2010. Getting a Behrens valued is a matter of finding the right appraiser. Look for a local appraiser. Local galleries and dealers are typically able to give a ballpark figure as to a painting’s worth. Some galleries have specific areas of expertise, so in the case of Behrens, look for a gallery that values 20th century, landscape or impressionist art. Use a website that offers a free appraisal (see Resources). Hire a professional. For a fee, established art appraisers can give an exact dollar value for a work of art. Groups such as the American Society of Appraisers match their clients with appraisers in any field who are qualified to make appraisals for tax or insurance purposes.
