Professional art consulting services

Terie Foglizzo of Tareka Art Consulting provides expert advice on buying or selling French and European works of art from the first half of the 20th century.

FREE initial consultation

Terie offers an obligation-free consultation to assess your needs,  based on your project specifications, budget and investment criteria. This consultation can be face-to-face (in person), or via email and phone. Initial consultation is provided free of charge.

Art searches

Terie will search for suitable artworks on your behalf and inform you of her search results based on current market situation, and using her extensive international art contacts and resources such as auction and gallery catalogues and databases.

Art market valuation / authenticity appraisals

When you require an expert opinion on an individual painting you are considering to buy, or when you need to have an assessment made for insurance or probate purposes, Terie can view the painting on your behalf or in your company. She will then provide a professional assessment report, based on current market, investment value, quality, etc. She can also provide a less detailed report based on a high resolution digital photo.

Art condition / restoration reports

Because the condition of a painting is vital to its value, Terie will hire trained, expert restorers to provide detailed reports. Such experts can ascertain whether a canvas has been re-lined for example or if any work has been carried out, etc. If your painting requires restoration work, she can also estimate the cost of any restoration required, based on those expert reports.

Art pricing negotiation / administration of purchases

Terie can negotiate the purchase price on your behalf allowing you to retain anonymity – at no additional cost. When required, Terie can also take care of the payment, restoration, re-framing, shipping, and hanging, which will be charged to you at cost on presentation of invoices.

Art sales

When you hire Terie to sell your artwork, she will provide a market valuation report of your painting and recommend various options available to you to help you decide how to market your painting to maximize your return on investment. The marketing method may include auctions, galleries, or private sales through her numerous art contacts.
