The Michael Gorman Gallery will provide assistance in identifying the works of R.C. Gorman. There is no guarentee of successfully identifying all works, however the gallery and our consultants have extensive records and experience and will likely be able to provide you with useful information.
 
This inforamtion will be provided to you via email.
 
This is NOT an authentication service.
 
If you are interested in learning the retail value range (not an appraisal) of your piece, you may click here to learn about our Valuation Service.
 
We will provide you with the information we have in our records such as the title, medium, year, and other information pertaining to your request. This is very helpful is distinguishing posters from lithographs or one-of-a-kind painting and drawings, beginning further research on value, or personal or professional record keeping.
 
In order to begin work, you will be asked to email some photos of the artwork to us. We will need:
An overall photo, showing the complete artwork; and
close-up photos of any markings such as signautres, years, stamps, edition numbers etc; and
a close-up photos of the edge of the paper (or where the mat board overlaps the paper).
 
We will also need you to send us:
The height & width measurements of the artwork in inches.
(Measure paper edge to paper edge, OR if edge is covered, provide the window size of the visible work
Any other information you have, can be helpful. Examples include sales receiepts, print documents provided by the gallery or print shop, where and when you aquired the piece, etc. You can include this in your email to us.
 
This is not an authentication or appraisal, becuase this process is done using photographs and information you send and not with an in-person examination of the work. However, we will provide - when avaiable - inforamtion on hallmarks that can help you resonably authenicate the piece and a value range which will help you determine a fair market value.
 
A $215 charge is applied to each request for valuation. Identification is included in this charge. If you would like to ONLY identify the piece, identification services are $25 per piece.
