Collections Management
Fair market value is determined by specific criteria. Fanning Art Advisory researches and inventories each work providing you with a comprehensive profile on each artist and work. This reduces the risks of attribution and provenance uncertainty. Our database management system ensures the history of the work is documented for the next generations.
