FR Review:
An independent appraisal and art advisory firm with its finger on the pulse of the global market, Gurr Johns has offices in New York, Los Angeles, Palm Beach and London. Established in 1914, the company has focused on providing appraisal services to high-profile collectors and private institutions worldwide. Their expertise “at the highest level” covers fine art, antiques, jewelry, wine, collectibles and all tangible personal property. Gurr Johns is known for its knowledge of the fine arts market, and offers consultation services as well—the firm will assist clients in all aspects of the consignment process.
Gurr Johns prides itself on the high level of expertise it brings to each job. With a staff of four generalists and over 25 specialists, experience is paramount to the firm’s success. Each general appraiser has a minimum of twelve years experience, and all are current or pending members of one of the two appraisal accreditation societies. All independent consultants are chosen based on expertise and com- plete objectivity. Fees are billed at a (significant) fixed rate on an hourly basis. Sources say the firm is particularly adept at dealing with the complications of appraising an entire estate.
Representative Client Comments:
“One of the best.” “Very well-organized, reliable people.” “Higher rates than some of their competitors, but worth it.” “They provide the highest level of expertise, and we would definitely refer their firm to future clients.” “Cream of the crop. Having international offices can make a big difference for a big, messy collection.”
