COULD YOUR PAINTING OR SCULPTURE BE BY CARLOS ROJAS?

Previously unknown works by important artists continue to emerge from private collections, estates, inheritances, and long-held family possessions. While authentic works by Carlos Rojas may be rare, every painting or sculpture deserves to be evaluated on its own merits rather than dismissed simply because it is unfamiliar or undocumented.

If you believe your Carlos Rojas painting or sculpture may be authentic, obtaining an independent professional opinion is the appropriate first step.

We have specialized in the authentication of works attributed to Carlos Rojas since 2002. We issue Certificates of Authenticity (COAs), Authentication Reports, appraisals, valuations, provenance reports, and provide buying, selling, brokerage, and investment advisory services for collectors, attorneys, insurers, financial institutions, estates, museums, and private clients worldwide.

Getting started is straightforward. Simply send us photographs of the work together with its dimensions and any information you have regarding its history or ownership. After reviewing the material, we will recommend the most appropriate course of action.

AUTHENTICATION

Is this a Carlos Rojas?

From a single photograph of ordinary quality, we can often determine whether a work appears consistent with Carlos Rojas's work or whether it clearly does not. His paintings and sculptures can require closer comparison of composition, materials, construction, surface, and documented series before a conclusion is reached.

What services do you provide?

We provide authentication, certification, Certificates of Authenticity (COAs), Authentication Reports, appraisals and valuations, provenance research, private sales and brokerage, investment advice, and analytical art market research.

Is it possible to discover a previously unknown Carlos Rojas today?

Yes. Previously unrecorded paintings, drawings, and sculptures can emerge from private collections, estates, and family holdings, particularly when their history has not previously been documented.

Do I need to get my Carlos Rojas authenticated?

Yes. Authentication is essential if you wish to sell your work for its full market value. It is also important for insurance, estate planning, charitable donations, financing, and many legal purposes.

Is it complicated to get a Carlos Rojas authenticated?

Not for you. Simply send us photographs, close-ups of important details and marks, the dimensions, and anything you know about the work's history. For sculpture, photographs from several angles and detailed images of construction, surfaces, bases, and inscriptions can be particularly useful.

How long does it take to authenticate a Carlos Rojas?

It depends on how much is already known about the work when we begin the investigation. In the simplest cases, authenticity can be confirmed within a couple of weeks. More complex cases may require several months.

How much does it cost to authenticate a Carlos Rojas?

From the low hundreds to the high thousands. It depends on how much is already known and documented, where relevant archives are located, and whether travel or scientific testing is required.

Can a signature alone prove that a Carlos Rojas painting or sculpture is authentic?

No. A signature or inscription must be evaluated together with the work itself, including its materials, technique, composition, dimensions, condition, provenance, and other relevant evidence.

Can an unsigned Carlos Rojas painting or sculpture still be authentic?

Yes. The absence of a signature does not by itself establish that a Carlos Rojas work is inauthentic. Authentication depends on the complete body of evidence rather than on a single marking.

What documents help authenticate a Carlos Rojas painting or sculpture?

Any document that mentions, describes, illustrates, or refers to the work may assist the authentication. Photographs, invoices, correspondence, exhibition records, conservation reports, insurance documents, auction records, and family papers can all contribute valuable evidence.

Can a Carlos Rojas painting or sculpture be authenticated from photographs?

Yes. High-quality photography is an extremely useful authentication tool and allows us to study important characteristics remotely. For sculpture, photographs from multiple angles can help document form, construction, surface, patina, bases, and marks; when additional evidence is required, we may recommend an in-person examination.

Is it always necessary to perform scientific analyses of a Carlos Rojas?

No. Many works can be authenticated through research, provenance investigation, comparative analysis, and technical examination. Scientific testing is generally reserved for more difficult cases when questions remain concerning the age or composition of materials.

What if my Carlos Rojas has no provenance?

Incomplete provenance is common. When provenance is incomplete, authentication relies more heavily on research, technical examination, photography, and, where appropriate, scientific testing.

Do you issue Certificates of Authenticity for Carlos Rojas works?

Yes. Upon completion of the authentication, we issue a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) together with a detailed and fully referenced Authentication Report.

APPRAISALS & VALUATIONS

How much is my Carlos Rojas painting or sculpture worth?

SELLING

Can you sell my Carlos Rojas for me?

Yes. We specialize in private sales but use every appropriate selling method to obtain the highest possible net price. We manage the process professionally, confidentially, and on your behalf.

Do I need an appraisal before selling my Carlos Rojas?

Yes. Your work should be priced correctly for the country, market, and method of sale. An independent appraisal helps prevent both underpricing and overpricing.

Do I need authentication before selling my Carlos Rojas?

Yes. Without authentication, your work may sell for only a fraction of its potential market value.

Can you help me maximize the selling price of my Carlos Rojas?

Yes. Authentication, provenance, valuation, timing, presentation, and the chosen sales method can all influence the final result. We also provide collection management advice designed to maximize value.

Should I restore or conserve my Carlos Rojas before selling it?

Usually not. Buyers often have their own preferences regarding conservation and restoration. We generally recommend selling the work in its present condition unless there is a compelling reason to undertake conservation beforehand.

How long does it take to sell a Carlos Rojas?

Higher-value works generally require more time to sell because there are fewer qualified buyers. Correct pricing, strong documentation, and the appropriate sales method all contribute to a successful sale.
