Gala, the price of expertise vary for several reasons. First, of where you are doing examination: the cost of examination by an expert familiar lower than in organizations such as the Grabar Institute or the Russian Museum. This is understandable: the familiar plumber to fix your tap for less money than a company specializing in plumbing services. Secondly, from what you give for examination: the examination of small watercolors, of course, is less examination meter of oil, and examination of a little-known artist is the artist's less expensive. The latter is not very logical, but it is so. Third, how simple examination: if you bring the thing published, say, the catalog of the artist and the expert is to determine only that it was the same thing, not the copy is, of course, much easier than attributirovat unknown work of a particular artist. Fourthly, on the kind of expertise you order - the technological or art history. It is believed that technological expertise is more expensive because it requires a special sophisticated equipment and trained to work on it specialists. Actually, believe me, today there is no hundred percent methods for determining the time of job. That is, with the help of this equipment can be determined only relatively recently created things, and even then not always. I have seen many examples where similar organizations, such as shirokorazreklamirovanny Artkonsalting, were mistaken as to one or the other side: the real work of, say, the thirties of the twentieth century attributirovali post-war period, and, conversely, fakes, made in the eighties, attributirovali Twenty years of the last century.
In fact, a specialist in fifty percent of cases rather than five minutes to figure out the real thing or not. So - my advice to owning a good consultant. This will save you a lot of time and money in comparison with an independent search for truth.
