No. There is not a trained appraiser on the Figge Art Museum staff. As a courtesy we can provide the name of two businesses in Iowa that provides these services, Gilded Pear Gallery in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Jackson’s International Auctioneers and Appraisers in Cedar Falls, Iowa.

The Figge acquires works of art for its collection through donations and through purchases, which are funded by the Art Acquisition Endowment. The Acquisition and Loans Committee of the Board of Trustees, which is composed of board members and community volunteers with expertise in art, oversees the acquisition of works for the collection. Please contact our curatorial department with questions. 

The Figge exhibits a wide variety of artworks, from old masters to cutting edge contemporary works. Some exhibitions are organized by Figge staff, while others travel to the Figge from other institutions. Many exhibitions, including the Rock Island Art Guild Exhibition and shows in the Mary Waterman Gildehaus Community Gallery, feature regional contemporary artists. The curatorial staff reviews works and plans exhibitions on an ongoing basis, with the exhibition schedule set at least two years in advance.
