Of course, accessing the value of your painting is hard without a sale.

Unless you require people to voluntarily put a price tag on all their paintings (and other assets) at which they'd be forced to sell to any comer.

People with expensive paintings have them valued all the time for insurance purposes. I'm sure a truly dedicated fraudster would find a way, but it raises the cost of tax evasion even if it doesn't eliminate it entirely.
