Selling previously purchased artwork can be complicated. Unlike buying art, the secondary market is built on relationships—with galleries, dealers, collectors, appraisers, auction houses, and other professionals who understand where a particular artist or artwork may have the best opportunity for resale.
At LagunaART.com, we help collectors navigate that process.
We work to align collectors with appropriate resale galleries, dealers, and consignment opportunities for artworks they already own. Building trusted relationships within the art industry takes years, and we have already spent decades developing those connections so our clients don't have to start from scratch.
Whether you are downsizing a collection, changing the direction of your collection, handling an estate, or simply looking to sell a work that no longer fits your home, we can help identify potential avenues for resale and introduce you to the right people.
How It Works
LagunaART.com can assist with:
- Reviewing the artwork and available documentation
- Identifying potential resale and consignment opportunities
- Connecting collectors with galleries specializing in the appropriate artist, period, or market
- Facilitating introductions and communication with galleries and dealers
- Coordinating consignment opportunities
- Assisting with collection organization and resale strategy
- Connecting collectors with professional art appraisal services when needed
We charge a small service fee for our assistance and, in some cases, a small commission when an artwork is successfully sold. The gallery, dealer, auction house, or other party completing the sale may also charge its own separate commission. All applicable fees and commissions are discussed before proceeding.
Fine Art Appraisals
Knowing what you own is often the first step toward determining the best resale strategy. For collectors who require a professional valuation, we can connect you with a Certified Fine Art Appraiser in Orange County for independent appraisal services.
Your Collection Deserves the Right Market
Not every artwork belongs in the same gallery, auction, or marketplace. Our role is to help determine where your artwork may be best positioned and connect you with professionals who already understand that segment of the art market.
You spent years building your collection. We've spent years building the relationships that can help you sell it.
