FAIR lists Linda Matthews as a website-backed unclaimed Santa Fe, NM profile with Fine art service category, specialty language for Art, Auction Company/Gallery, Drawings, Paintings, and Prints, and credential signals for ISA and CAPP. FAIR shows source checked 2026-05-26, but no FAIR verified status, no public fee statement, no public USPAP education detail, no formal-use routing signal, and no claim/control status. The linked source material is specific. The ISA profile lists Linda Matthews, ISA CAPP, Fine Art, at 669 Canyon Road in Santa Fe, with the same specialties, services for auction, donations, estate tax, insurance claims, and non-cash charitable donations, and appraisal categories including art and bronzes. Matthews Gallery describes a Santa Fe gallery with a Dallas private-sales office, exhibiting American, European, and Santa Fe/Taos fine art from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. Its art-advisory page says the advisory work assists buyers and sellers of secondary-market artwork, including old master, traditional, modern, and contemporary material, and can assist with art appraisals, conservation, art insurance, transportation, collection valuation, and cataloguing. The same page identifies Linda as handling fine art appraisals for insurance, fair market value, estate planning, and charitable donations for private and corporate collections. Before outreach, confirm whether the need is appraisal, sale, auction, insurance, donation, estate, or collection planning; ask for current fee terms, inspection or remote-review method, report standard, and object fit.
The clearest source-backed fit is fine art and art-advisory work involving paintings, drawings, prints, works on paper, sculpture, bronzes, American and European art, Santa Fe/Taos material, and formal-use contexts including insurance, fair market value, estate planning, charitable donation, estate tax, and insurance claims.
Use the Matthews Gallery contact path or ISA profile to confirm the correct Linda Matthews record, then ask whether the assignment is a written appraisal or advisory/sale support, what value definition is needed, whether remote review is accepted, and how fees, travel, report timing, and documentation are handled.
