The reliability of prices is crucial to every market. Hence valuation, i.e. activities aimed at determining the market value of an object, is an important activity for the art market. An appropriate model of art valuation had not been developed yet on the Polish art market. Activities of experts in field of art valuation are also not proper. The reasons of this situation and the most important defects in art valuation are described in this paper. Additionally, those subjects with the appropriate knowledge and skills necessary for art valuation are identified. The activities of the appraisers of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage and of market experts who have already worked for museums and public institutions are especially highlighted. Moreover, the most crucial elements which should be included in an art valuation are suggested.

Wiarygodność cen jest niezbędna dla funkcjonowania każdego rynku, stąd wycena, a więc określanie wartości rynkowej obiektu, jest istotną czynnością dla rynku sztuki. Na polskim rynku sztuki nie wypracowano odpowiedniego modelu wyceny dzieł sztuki, a sama działalność ekspertów w zakresie wyceny pozostawia wiele wątpliwości. W artykule omówiono przyczyny tego stanu rzeczy oraz najważniejsze wady wycen. Jednocześnie wskazano podmioty, które mogą mieć odpowiednią wiedzę i umiejętności w sporządzaniu wycen dzieł sztuki. W szczególności zwrócono uwagę na działalność rzeczoznawców Ministra Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego oraz ekspertów ds. rynku, z których dziś już korzystają muzea i instytucje publiczne. Zaproponowano przy tym niezbędne elementy, które powinna zawierać wycena dzieła sztuki.
The reliability of evidence in a criminal trial is a multidimensional issue and relates to the assessment of the evidential value of a specific circumstance established in the case through activities performed by expert witness or authorities. The reliability (trustworthy) of the source of evidence and identification methods, performance of research, deduction and the context of other evidence seem to be one of the important implications for the evidential value. Results of the survey of participants of the criminal trial (police officers, prosecutors and experts) and comparative group on the perception of various features of identification methods and selected aspects related to the status of a forensic expert is presented in the article. In the first part of the study, the identification methods were ranked in terms of their scientificity, reliability and willingness to convict on the basis of the method’s results. The research shows that the assessment of the method’s reliability is significantly correlated with the assessment of its scientificity. However, some exceptions to this relationship have been identified, indicating that the reliability of the method may also be the result of an assessment of its suitability and effectiveness. The second part of the research was focused on assessing the reliability of various expert opinions. The place of examinations carried out by an expert is important for the participants of the criminal trial. Opinions of forensic experts performed at specialist institutions were assessed as the most reliable.
