I recently acquired a painting by an artist whose early years were spent in my hometown. I wanted the piece appraised and a mutual friend connected me to fine art appraiser Ruth Crnkovich. I met Ruth and was immediately impressed with her professionalism, along with her education and extensive appraisal experience!  Ruth prepared fair market value and retail replacement value appraisals for the painting. I am satisfied with the objective and thorough appraisals and highly recommend working with Ruth Crnkovich.  I will hire her for any appraisal needs I may have.

I first worked with Ruth 25 years ago when she appraised the museum-quality collection of my parents Richard and Roberta Lieberman. I was struck by her complete discipline in providing information, resourcefulness in solving problems and sensitivity to a wide range of artistic visions. In the years since, I have turned to her for everything from Asian ceramics to Andy Warhol to Chicago-based contemporary art to cutting edge conceptual work. Most recently, she appraised the extensive collection of philanthropists Michael and Sandra Perlow. Once again, Ruth proved herself to be a trustworthy professional.
