Current Service Rates
The following rates are effective as of April, 2021. Please note that rates and policies may change at the exclusive discretion of Michael Rose. Please review this page before inquiring about a project. To ask specific questions, please email Michael.
Appraisals
The fee structure for appraisals is $70 an hour. All appraisal services are billed on an hourly basis and Michael does not perform appraisals for a percentage of sales or any other form of reimbursement. Each appraisal is unique, and Michael provides a time estimate after an initial consultation. Additional fees such as printing and database use also typically apply to appraisals.
Please Note: At this time, Michael is not taking on new appraisal clients. If you have a work of art that requires a formal appraisal, you should only seek out the assistance of a professional appraiser affiliated with an organization like the Appraisers Association of America or the International Society of Appraisers.
Advisory services
Non-appraisal advisory services are billed at the rate of $50 an hour. There is a two hour minimum for these services and extended advisory projects may involve additional fees. Individual project budgets and schedules are devised in consultation with the client.
Artist Services
Consulting for individual artists is billed at a rate of $50 an hour. There is a two hour minimum for artist services and extended work for artists may involve additional fees. Individual project budgets and schedules are devised in consultation with the client.
Speaking, Teaching, and jurying projects
Because each organization is different, Michael is open to discussing fees for speaking and teaching events on a project-specific basis. Please contact him directly if you would like to inquire about his availability for lectures and classes.
Other Work
If you have an inquiry about other work such as independent writing and editing or types of consulting not listed here, please contact Michael with the details of your project. Note that most other projects will be subject to a rate of $50 an hour.
