AI, Art Valuation and the Question of Accountability: What Happens When The Algorithms Disagree?

The Collectors: Gifford and Joann Phillips

18/03/2026

“Contemporary collecting, it seems to me, involves the eye and the mind in a particular relationship. The eye must be relied on primarily, for it is usually the more trustworthy guide, especially when the forms are novel,” Gifford Phillips once said. “I have found in collecting that there is still no substitute for time and repeated exposure in distinguishing the artist of superior talent.”

Gifford and his wife, Joann, were patrons of cultural institutions and passionate advocates of contemporary art. Their personal collection included work by Richard Diebenkorn, Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, and Mark Rothko.

What Is Appraisal Review?

15/03/2026

Appraisal review provides clients with high assurance that their appraisal reports are credible, reliable, and accurate. Appraisal reviews aid in dispute resolution, litigation, and mediation by providing qualified and expert second opinions. The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) provides the following definition: “the act or process of developing an opinion about the quality of another appraiser’s work (i.e., a report, part of a report, a workfile, or some combination of these) that was performed as part of an appraisal or appraisal review assignment.”

The French actress Jacqueline Delubac (1907-1997) was considered the most elegant woman in Paris, and her art collection, which featured modernist works by Picasso, Degas, Lam, Léger, and more, followed suit.

Appraising Public Art

09/03/2026

Appraising public art can be a daunting exercise, especially since it is not intended to be traded in the secondary market. It is particularly illiquid and difficult to sell in comparison to stand-alone artworks such as paintings and sculptures. Public art achieves its maximum value when it is enjoyed by a community that is enthusiastic about its display; has easy access to it; is able to connect with its meaning and aesthetics; and when the art is installed in a safe environment that maintains and preserves its longevity. Its purpose is to serve the population and contribute to civic life. Over time, these works become part of the permanent visual landscape.

The Dealer: Paul Durand-Ruel

04/03/2026

“We needed a reactionary to defend our painting.”

These words by Pierre-Auguste Renoir introduce the French art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel as an unlikely but effective champion of avant-garde art in the second half of the 19th century. Though his “eternal frock coat” could mistake him for a country lawyer, as Le Guide de l’amateur d’oeuvres d’art observed in 1892, Durand-Ruel operated from the center of the Parisian art market — and would stake his fortune on artists the establishment openly despised.
