FINE ART EXPERTISES L.L.C.
Why FAE.llc exists today
For decades, collectors relied on auction houses, foundations, and experts for answers.
Today, those answers are increasingly unavailable.
Auction houses offer free appraisals — but no responsibility.
Foundations refuse to issue certificates due to lawsuits.
Experts remain silent, cautious, or unreachable.
Yet collectors still face the same risks: financial loss, legal exposure, and irreversible mistakes.
FAE.llc exists to provide what institutions no longer can: independent judgment, risk analysis, and clarity.
