About this website
This website is published by Cecilia Dan Fine Art, an art advisory and appraisal practice based in Santa Monica, California. The site provides general information about our services, professional background, and professional affiliations. It is informational only and is not a substitute for engaging us under a written agreement.
No appraisal, advice, or professional relationship
Nothing on this website constitutes:
- an appraisal, valuation, or opinion of value compliant with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP);
- investment, financial, tax, accounting, legal, or insurance advice;
- an offer to buy, sell, broker, authenticate, or transfer any work of art or other property;
- a representation regarding the authenticity, attribution, condition, provenance, ownership, or market value of any work depicted or described.
Browsing this site, sending us an inquiry, or receiving a reply does not create an appraiser-client, advisor-client, fiduciary, or any other professional relationship. A professional engagement begins only upon execution of a written engagement letter that sets out the intended use, intended users, scope of work, fees, and other terms in accordance with USPAP and our internal practice standards.
