WWA is part of the same company and only runs these pages and screens requests. We do not issue quotes, take commission, or act as brokers. Serious, relevant inquiries are put in direct contact with the right specialist straight away. Advisory is for buyers and collectors acquiring significant works. We do not represent artists, review portfolios or offer career consulting.

Assessment
Documentation is reviewed and, where it is needed, the work is examined in the partner laboratory.

You receive a written view of the work and the options, and decide freely what to do next.

Questions we are asked
- Are you tied to a gallery or auction house?
- No. Advice is given independently, and we say openly when a work is better placed elsewhere.
- Do you value works for insurance?
- We provide an economic estimation of a work. Tell us what the figure is needed for and we will say whether our estimation fits that purpose.
- Is the advice confidential?
- Yes. Nothing about an inquiry, an owner or a work is ever published or passed on.
