One clear answer

Start with material and markings: bronze, marble, wood, silver, plaster, resin, patina, signature, foundry stamp, edition number, base, and repairs.

Auction records are market evidence, not a final appraisal. Condition, authenticity, provenance, size, medium, edition, subject, and demand can materially change value.

Photo checklist

  • Photograph all sides, base, underside, signature, foundry mark, edition, plaques, joins, patina, chips, cracks, and repairs.
  • Measure height, width, depth, weight if safe, and base dimensions.
  • Include provenance, invoices, gallery labels, certificates, prior appraisals, and shipping records.

What changes the answer

  • Artist, foundry, material, edition, scale, condition, provenance, and subject drive sculpture value.
  • Bronze, marble, wood, silver, and decorative castings compare differently.
  • After-cast, reproduction, repair, surface cleaning, and missing bases can materially affect value.
