FR Review:
Erica Hartman appraises fine art with a nuanced approach that comes as much from commercial experience as it does from scholarly study. Prior to devoting herself full-time to appraisal in 1995, Hartman operated a gallery (first in New York, then Florida) for thirteen years. This hands-on experience is evident, references say, in a style of appraisal that takes both academic theory and real-world economics into account; Hartman can identify what is historically significant about a piece, then identify what that significance means on the open market. Not a generalist, she focuses on 20th Century American and European paintings, with a particular expertise in prints and works on paper, especially pieces from the 60s and 70s. For the most part, she works with private clients, appraising their collections for donation, estate evaluation and damage assessment, and sources say that her strong relationships with local museums and arts institutions help a lot. Hartman employs an associate but handles all important decisions herself, charging hourly fees that clients describe as "quite competitive." A certified member of the Appraisers Association of America, she has been described as a "rare combination of expertise and friendliness, a real gem."




Representative Client Comments:
