Yes, we have a full insurance appraisal as well as a full fair market value appraisal. The Braque and Giacometti values were the fair market values - we pretty much use the fair market values for everything we do. The only exceptions are for museum exhibitions and if we have to make a claim on Leon's own insurance (I.e., if a work of art or a piece of jewelry is damaged or stolen/lost). I'm not sure why the Giacometti result was low yesterday. Larry told Leon that he only showed the sculpture to a select group of purchasers, but we had heard rumors that it was being more widely offered, so it's hard to tell. The auction overall wasn't great - only a few really great pieces and as Leon and I discussed yesterday, it seems like a mistake on Sotheby's part to hold that separate sale of lesser valued works right before the sale with the important works. Sotheby's also had a much smaller Giacometti sculpture (12 in) which was not nearly as important as ours early on in the sale that was estimated at something like 700,000-1 million and sold for 1.8 million (plus buyer's premium). Which at first seemed to bode well for our Giacometti, but I was thinking last night that it actually may have made ours look overpriced by comparison. I'm going to ask Amy Cappellazzo at Sotheby's what she thinks went wrong (Leon has probably already spoken to her, so he may have some insight). I also want to find out if the buyer is the person who asked for extended payment terms. I'll let you know what I find out.

Barry mentioned the dealer idea. Interesting and definitely a longer discussion.

The difference varies - some specialists put insurance at 150% of fmv, some go slightly lower or slightly higher. There is no hard and fast rule. They are supposed to be considering what it would cost to go to a gallery today to buy the same work or art or something very similar.

Fair market is the standard IRS definition: the price a willing buyer would pay a willing seller, neither under any compulsion to buy or sell. We use fair market values for almost everything - all sales, transfers among entities, etc. We use the insurance values when we loan works of art to museums for exhibition and, unrelated to museum lending, if we have to make a claim on Leon's insurance for a work that has been damaged (for example, that Picasso that was damaged at 760 last year). Museums insure the works they are borrowing in transit and during the exhibition and we give them the insurance value for the work in that case. Did Leon receive Christie's insurance appraisal yesterday instead of the fair market value one? Our assistant may have put the wrong appraisal in the package. I have an extra copy of the fair market value appraisal that o can send over to him this morning, if that is the case.
