Art Advisory Services

We offer a comprehensive range of traditional art services associated with Art Advisory and Art Appraisal, including private art advising, art procurement, art commissioning, art divestment, collection management, exhibition curation, and publication development.

For our established clients, we also provide art installation, transportation, and storage services.

Strategic Planning

In our strategic planning services, DCA takes great care when leading visioning projects, cultural planning, multi-year budget planning, site planning, drafting guiding documents and internal protocols, publication development, and conducting customized research. We also represent our findings through presentations tailored to specific audiences.

When establishing art master plans, we embrace your mission as our own. Our approach includes in-depth visioning, focus groups, community engagement sessions (in both Spanish and English), and internal stakeholder interviews. Davis Cohen Art is recognized for our expertise, hands-on approach, and dedication to the highest quality service.

Art Appraisal Services

Rooted in expert market analysis, Davis Cohen Art employs staff appraisers certified by the Appraisers Association of America, the leading organization for personal property appraisers specializing in fine and decorative arts. With extensive backgrounds in auction houses and international galleries, our owners have cultivated an unparalleled network of experts who provide first-hand insights for developing methodologies to justify value. DCA regularly collaborates with private collectors and myriad fiduciaries.

Our appraisals serve a variety of purposes, including insurance schedules, damage/loss claims, estate tax settlements, financial planning, tax relief determinations for non-cash charitable donations, equitable distribution in divorce or business dissolution, collateral loan evaluations, disposition of collections or individual works, and litigation support.
