How replacement value
is determined
Replacement value is developed from relevant market evidence and the specific
characteristics of each work. Research considers comparable property, gallery and auction
activity, quality, condition, provenance, exhibition history, rarity, and the market in which an
appropriate replacement would be obtained.
