The Collector’s Guide Online FAQ

How can I find out the value of my work of art?

There are a number of Appraisal Services listed in our Art Services Directory. Read an article about the importance of appraisals.

How can I locate a particular artist?

Type the artist’s name in the “Search our Site” field at the top of each page on our web site. Each gallery that is listed in your search results either represents or shows by that that artist. Click on the gallery name to see their address, phone number, web link, and email address in order to contact that gallery. If the artist’s name does not show up, try different spellings. If the artist’s name still doesn’t show up, try searching the web through Google or another search engine.

You can also try our Advanced Search feature, which lets you search by type of art or location in New Mexico. A list of galleries will show up that carry that type of work. You might try contacting these galleries to find your artist.

How do I find/contact a gallery?

Use the “Search our Site” field at the top of each page on our web site. On each gallery web page, you can find the gallery address, phone number, email, and their own web page. Click on the Web Site or E-mail link for each gallery to contact them. Please make sure you are contacting the gallery, and not The Collector’s Guide.
