Sell your Maurice Braun painting

Here is how Steven Stern Fine Arts handles a Maurice Braun, from your first email or call to a completed purchase or consignment.

What to send us

Good photographs answer most early questions. Please include:

• the whole front, photographed square-on in even light;
• the entire back, including any title, place name, gallery or exhibition label;
• the signature on the front;
• the dimensions of the image area, not the frame;
• what you know about the painting's history: family ownership, purchase records, exhibition or dealer labels, earlier appraisals.

Don't clean, revarnish or reframe your Braun before we see it, and leave any labels on the back in place.

How we evaluate a Braun

Evaluations are confidential. The gallery looks at authorship, period, subject, condition, provenance, exhibition history, literature and importance within the artist's work. For Braun, an identifiable San Diego subject, a strong composition and good condition all count.

Your options

• Outright purchase by the gallery.
• Consignment, with the gallery offering the painting to its clients on your behalf.
• Advice and private sale for important single works, estates and multi-artist collections.

Seeing the painting

The gallery is based in Los Angeles and serves collectors and estates throughout the United States, including San Diego. Steven Stern and his associates travel regularly to evaluate paintings and collections.
