I think I have two very valuable pieces of art on my possession but can’t seem to find anyone to help me identify and sell it!
Does genuine have a referral or experience?

I called them. Haven’t heard back. They have a email system on their website but never responded.

Museums won’t give monetary appraisals.

They won’t give monetary appraisals but they could help OP to get the piece’s provenance documented so when an appraiser is found they’ll have more facts to reference when assessing a value. Also a professor may offer an opinion and give OP guidance as to whether an appraisal would be worth pursuing at all.

Appraisal services are not free but a lot of people call appraisers and galleries expecting free labor. You might get a faster reply if you specifically ask for their rates for appraisal services.

Oh smart! I’ll do that! I certainly don’t ever expect anything free in life. I could pay someone online but I feel like in person would be better than just sharing a picture! Good tip!

Concept Art Gallery or Marcia Rosenthal do excellent appraisal jobs

Aspire Auctions on Ellsworth can probably help.
