The staff at Worth Auctions recently completed an insurance appraisal of a major private photography collection in the Midwest.

The collection comprised over two hundred original gelatin silver prints by such twentieth century masters as Edward Weston, Edward Steichen, and Paul Strand. The retail replacement value totaled $832,000.

The project was led by Worth’s Director of Fine Art & Special Collections, Evan D. Williams, who is a Certified Member of the Appraisers Association of America—the organization’s highest designation.

Worth Auctions is equipped to supply USPAP- and IRS-compliant appraisals of a wide range of personal property for all common purposes including insurance, estate tax, equitable distribution, charitable donation, and liquidation.
