Sell Art – Sell or Consign With ArtValueNow
Have Chinese, Japanese, or Korean art — or select Western fine art — to sell? Selling Asian art is ArtValueNow’s main business — our own inventory, and works consigned to us by collectors, estates, and institutions — and we also welcome select Western fine art and European paintings. You keep ownership until your work sells; we do the work of selling it.
How consignment works:
- Assessment — we examine the work, its authenticity, provenance, and condition, and agree a pricing strategy and reserve with you.
- Agreement — terms, including commission and the consignment period, are set out in writing before anything is listed. No surprises later.
- Sale — the work is researched, photographed, and offered under the ArtValueNow name through our shop and private collector network across North America and China.
- Settlement — once sold and paid, you receive your proceeds promptly.
Why sell through us rather than alone? Every work we offer is researched and vetted by Aaron Hao, ISA-accredited appraiser (USPAP-compliant). Buyers pay for that confidence — and consigned works are presented under the same standard.
Collectors Welcome
ArtValueNow is built around collectors, and meeting them is the best part of the work. Aaron Hao is glad to share a professional view before you buy — on authenticity, condition, and whether an asking price makes sense — whether you are placing a first piece or refining a mature collection. Collectors buy through ArtValueNow with that guidance behind them, and consign works they are ready to part with. His own dealing record — works researched, correctly attributed, and placed through auction houses and private collections — is the experience behind the advice. If you are building a collection, start with a conversation.
To start, send photos and any details you have through the Contact page. We will tell you honestly whether consignment suits your piece and what it should achieve.
A note on direct purchases: we are not buying inventory outright as a general service at this stage. For exceptional pieces we occasionally purchase directly — you are welcome to enquire.
Submit a Piece for Consignment
To consider your piece, we need its story as well as its photographs. Please share what you know — provenance is part of a work’s value.
Submit a Piece for Consideration
Submissions are confidential and are used only to assess consignment. Please do not ship any item unless we invite you to do so.
