Kungani Udinga I-Fine Art Appraiser Ongayethemba

Umdwebo wokuqala owathengwa nguCharles Tovar kwakuwumdwebo kaJoseph Claude Vernet eSotheby's eLos Angeles. “Ngangiyingane encane futhi ngikhokha cishe amaRandi angu-1,800 20,000 ngalo mdwebo,” uyakhumbula. Impahla ithenge ucezu ngoba ethanda. Nakuba engazange azame ukwenza inzuzo noma ayisebenzise njengokutshalwa kwezimali, noma ubani angajabula ukwazi ukuthi ngemva kokuhlanza okuchwepheshile kwakubiza u-$XNUMX.

Kungaleso sikhathi lapho uTovar eba nesithakazelo ekugxekeni kwezobuciko. Kwakungo-1970 ngaleso sikhathi, futhi izinhlelo zokunikeza izitifiketi zomhloli wezobuciko ochwepheshe zazingakakabi kumephu. Namanje njengoba izitifiketi sezikhona, akuyona ukuphela kwempendulo yokuthi ngabe usebenza nomhloli onekhono noma cha. UTovar uthi: “Ngabona ukuthi abantu abakuqondi abakwenzayo, abakwazi ukufunda amasignesha, abakhulumi izilimi zakwamanye amazwe.” Uchwepheshe wezilimi eziningi onezilimi eziyisikhombisa ebhokisini lakhe lamathuluzi, u-Tovar waqala ngokutadisha ukubuyisela, okwamnika ulwazi nolwazi aludingayo ukuze aqale ukusebenza ekuqinisekiseni imisebenzi.

Sikhulume no-Tovar mayelana nokuthi yini okufanele uyibheke kumhlaziyi nokuthi ungasebenzisa kanjani abahloli kangcono ukugcina iqoqo lakho lobuciko:

1. Sebenza nomhloli onolwazi

Ukuba i-appraiser kuzijwayeza. Nakuba osanda kuphothula izifundo zobuciko obuhle engase awazi umsebenzi womculi owaziwayo, akawazi ngempela umsebenzi womgunyathi. Kudinga ukuzijwayeza ukwazi ukuthi yini okufanele uyibheke. Umhloli kufanele akwazi ukuhlukanisa phakathi kwevarnish engcolile nemibala engacacile, amasignesha angempela, iminyaka yomdwebo kanye neminyaka yopende. Embukisweni kaNicolas Poussin Expo, uTovar wathenga umdwebo akholelwa ukuthi ungabiza u-$2.5 million. Wayithumela eMcCrone Institute eChicago. Ochwepheshe abahamba phambili emkhakheni we-microscopy we-Institute bathola upende we-Titanium White ku-canvas, owasungulwa kuphela ngemva kokushona komdwebi. Ngamanye amazwi, bekungelona iqiniso. Lena imininingwane oyidingayo ukuze umhlaziyi wakho ayilandelele futhi ayiqonde.

“Kuhlukanise kube izigaba,” kunxusa uTovar. Uma ufuna uchwepheshe wesikhathi noma iciko, thola othile onolwazi olufanele. Umhloli ngamunye uvame ukwenza ngokukhethekile endaweni ethile, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ubuciko bekhulu lama-20 noma ukulinganisa kwamadola ayisigidi. Okubalulekile: sebenza nomuntu ojwayelene nohlobo lwemibono oyidingayo.

2. Vumela abahloli bakusize ukuchaza nokugcina iqoqo lakho

Abahloli abaningi bazonikeza ukubonisana kwe-imeyili kwamahhala. Uma ucabanga ukuthenga okuthile, ungabathumelela i-imeyili egcwele izithombe futhi bazokunikeza ukuqagela kwabo. Sebenza nabahloli uma ucabanga ukuthenga okuthile ongabonisana nakho ngobuqiniso bento nesimo samanje. Isibonelo, cela umhloli we-appraiser ukuthi ahlole isimo uma ufuna umthengisi ahlanze umsebenzi ngaphambi kokuthi unqume ukuwuthenga. Abahloli bangaba futhi insiza enhle yokuqhubeka nokuchaza iqoqo lakho futhi bakunikeze imibono yalokho ongagxila kukho ekuthengeni kwakho okuzayo.

Ukuba nomhloli omethembayo kuzokusiza ukuthi ugcine iso lochwepheshe eqoqweni lakho. Umkhiqizo usitshele indaba yozakwethu obesiza iklayenti ukuthi lithengise umdwebo olula elicabanga ukuthi lingaba ngu-$20. Kwakungumdwebo wamafutha ophakathi nendawo wevazi egcwele izimbali, esayinwe ngohlamvu V. Umhloli waqala ukucabanga ukuthi lo mdwebo wawudwetshwe omunye wabakhulu futhi wabiza uchwepheshe wezobuciko wekhulu lama-20 ukuba aphinde abukeke. Ekugcineni, kwathintwa iRoyal Academy of Arts eThe Hague eNetherlands ukuze inikeze umbono wayo ngesiqephu futhi icele ukuthunyelwa eYurophu. Umdwebo we-$ 20 bekunguVan Gogh.

3. Yiba nombiko ojwayelekile mayelana nokuhlolwa kanye nesimo seqoqo lakho

I-Commodity iphakamisa ukuhlolwa okubuyekeziwe kweqoqo lakho lobuciko njalo eminyakeni emihlanu. Kufanele futhi ube nombiko wesimo njalo eminyakeni eyi-7-10. Umbiko wesimo uyisibuyekezo sesimo seqoqo lakho. Ngenxa yokuthi umdwebo ubukeka njengesigcawu sasebusuku akusho ukuthi wawuhloselwe ukuba njalo. Isibonelo salokhu ukuvuselelwa kwakamuva kukaMichelangelo kweSistine Chapel. Ngemva kokudala impikiswano, ezinye izazi-mlando zazikhathazekile ngokuthi ukubuyiselwa kwabuyisela emuva i-palette yokuqala kaMichelangelo yemibala ye-matte kanye nezithunzi eziyinkimbinkimbi. Nakuba, lapho ukubuyisela sekuqediwe, kwacaca ukuthi izithunzi zazisabonakala kakhulu, futhi i-palette yombala esetshenziswa umdwebi ohlonishwayo empeleni yayikhanya kunalokho okwakuhloswe ekuqaleni. mayelana nokubuyiselwa ngo-1990, ethi "ukusebenzisa kukaMichelangelo imibala egqamile emdwebeni wakhe e-Uffizi eFlorence, eyaziwa ngokuthi i-Doni Tondo, akusewona umcimbi ongawodwa."

Ukuhlanza umdwebo noma into futhi kuvula umnyango wokuqonda kangcono umlando wawo kanye nokuqinisekiswa komdali wawo. Lokhu kunikeza ukuqonda okusha kwesiginesha nesitayela somsebenzi. "Lesi simo sizothinta kakhulu inani," kuchaza uTovar.

Gcina amadokhumenti okuhlola kuphrofayela yakho. Ungagcina izikolo iminyaka, ubhale amaphuzu omsebenzi futhi uvikele imvelaphi yakho emafini.

Umkhiqizo uphinde unikeze izithombe zomsebenzi wakho, ezingalondolozwa naku-akhawunti yakho. “Ngithi abantu abajike bathathe isithombe,” kuchaza yena. “Thatha lezi zithombe uzibeke eceleni uma kwenzeka zebiwa. Miningi imisebenzi yobuciko eyebiwe futhi eminingi yayo ingabuyiswa.”

U-Tovar useke wabhekana nobuciko obuntshontshiwe futhi wababona bebuya. “Eminyakeni edlule, bengibazi abathengisi abathenga imidwebo base bethola ukuthi yebiwe,” echaza, “bese beyibuyisela emuva.”

4. Sebenzisana nabahloli ukuze uqonde ngempela ukubaluleka kweqoqo lakho.

Kuye ngohlobo lokuhlola oludingayo, imibono izohluka. Sebenza nomhloli oqonda izinjongo zakho kanye nomehluko phakathi kokulinganisa izinhlelo zezakhiwo kanye nenani lemakethe. Funda kabanzi mayelana nezinhlobo ezahlukene zokulinganisa.

Kwabaningi, ukuqoqa ubuciko akuwona umsebenzi. Kuyinto yokuzilibazisa futhi abantu bayenza ngoba imnandi. Okuqala njengemvelo yamathumbu kungaphenduka imigodi yegolide noma kungasizi lutho. “Ibhizinisi lezobuciko liyibhizinisi elijabulisayo,” kusho uTovar. Ukusebenzisana nochwepheshe kanye nokuba uchwepheshe ngokwakho kuyithikithi lakho lokwakha iqoqo eliqinile nelihlakaniphile. Ukuze wenze lokhu, udinga ukuba neso elihle futhi wazi ukuthi uzosebenza nobani. Khumbula umdwebo we-Vernet owathengwa u-Tovar ngo-$1,800 ngo-1970? Namuhla, eminyakeni engu-45 kamuva, libiza u-$200,000. "Kufana nakho konke okunye," uyavuma, "ukujaha."
