What artwork do you accept?
We accept original pieces, as well as some prints. We look for artists that have sold on the secondary market in the past, as well as mid-career artists that are still available in the galleries today.

At Around the Block, we use only certified appraisers to value the artwork in our collection. We look at the global secondary market, and how we’ve done with similar works by the same artist.
