Journal of Advanced Appraisal Studies - 2009

Some early submissions to the 2009 edition of the Journal of Advanced Appraisal Studies are coming it. I am pleased to see some very interesting appraisal related articles. So far I have reviewed articles on the effects of light on paper, appraising photography, Indian baskets, marketing/business plan, art indexes, working with financial planners and scoring models. All are excellent articles and will be a great reference for all personal property appraisers. Contributors are from AAA, ASA, ISA, NAA and other related and associated fields of endeavor. I encourage all AW Blog readers and appraiser to order the new version when available in March 2009.

Fellow appraiser Robert Corey and I are collaborating on an article where we use Charles Montgomery's 14 evaluation points, surveyed ISA certified appraisers who ranked the evaluation points, and developed a scoring model based upon the survey results and importance of each of the 14 evaluation points. There is an individual scoring component which allows the appraiser to increase or decrease the individual scores and to make adjustments based upon quality, condition etc. We had a good response from the survey results, indicating a percentage of importance for 14 evaluation points in four decorative arts categories, including furniture, glass, silver and porcelain.

The preliminary listing of articles for the 2009 edition include:
  • Forensic signature analysis
  • Wine Appraising
  • Photography
  • Ethics
  • Media Relations
  • Marketing
  • Online Auction Platforms
  • Online appraising
  • Art Indexes
  • Wall Paper
  • Illustration Art
  • Auctioneering and Appraising
  • Paper Artifacts and the impact of light
  • Scoring Models
  • Indian Baskets
  • African Art
  • Frames and Limiting Conditions
  • Decorative Arts during Slavery
  • Canadian Decorative arts
  • Russian Decorative Arts
  • Artist Attribution Levels

The 2009 edition of the Journal of Advanced Appraisal Studies will be published in March, 2009 by the Foundation for Appraisal Education. If you have not purchased the 2008 inaugural edition, it is available by clicking HERE.

As I have mentioned on the AW Blog on numerous occasions, there are some terrific articles in the 2008 edition. A reference book that should be in all appraisal libraries.
