Private Art Sales & Placement

Before you sell your paintings, drawings, fine prints and sculpture, consult Kodner Gallery first. We have the skills and experience to determine the value of your artwork. Verbal evaluations of fine oil or watercolor paintings, drawings and sculpture are always complimentary.


Protect the Legacy and Value of Your Artwork

At Kodner Gallery, we specialize in discreet, strategic placement of fine art with qualified collectors. Our private sale approach preserves confidentiality, safeguards long-term value, and ensures each work is handled with care and intention.

Why Private Sale Matters

Public sale channels can sometimes add unnecessary exposure or create lasting records. In contrast, our private sale model prioritizes discretion and long-term value protection, ensuring your artwork transitions privately and with integrity.

Our clients often prefer a private sale when they want to:
·      Maintain confidentiality around pricing and ownership
·      Avoid overexposure that may affect how a work is perceived
·      Reduce the impact of commissions and premiums on net proceeds
·      Protect an artwork’s reputation and desirability
·      Take a thoughtful, long-view approach to collection planning

The Kodner Gallery Approach

·      Private, discreet sale strategy tailored to each work and client
·      Direct placement with trusted collectors, advisors, and institutions
·      No public record of pricing history that could complicate future decisions
·      Professional valuation and personal guidance at every step
·      Decades of experience working with estates, families, and long-time collectors

Each artwork is handled personally and confidentially—never treated as a commodity.

Ideal For
·      Estates and family collections in transition
·      Significant individual works requiring thoughtful placement
·      Collectors refining or reallocating part of a collection
·      Situations where privacy and discretion are a priority 

Your Artwork Deserves Thoughtful Representation

We believe the way a work changes hands is as important as the work itself. Our process centers on protecting both legacy and value through private, intentional placement.
