Getting Back on Track


Last weekend I headed to NYC for the AAA annual conference and had a great time. I did a short post while in New York on the large turn-out and excellent presentations.  For appraisers the timing of both AAA and ISA annual conferences are perfect, you can attend AAA in the fall and then in spring attend the ISA conference. Between the two organizations and excellent programs you should be able to gain specialty knowledge as well as building networks with fellow appraisers.

I spent an extra day in New York and went to the Met before coming home, and also found time to visit the MoMA.

Upond coming home I had some work to catch up on, attended the TAFAC meeting and prepared for our auction at the Potomack Company. With all of that going on I took a bit of a break in posting. I missed posting on the big NYC sales, but I am sure most appraisers have seen the various results. I will post some post postmortem reports when I spot them.

I will get back to regular posts this week, as I have David Maloney's 8th Edition of Appraising Personal Property: Principles & Methodology to review. From my preliminary scan of the new edition, it just keeps getting better and better, and as in past editions, it is written to conform with 2018-2019 USPAP.

This book, in my opinion is the best non-affiliated work on personal property available for PP appraisers. Each new edition should be in every appraisers library, regardless of skill or experience level. I have relied on my version for many years. Dave has been authoring this guide for years and it performs well as a stand alone book on personal appraisal principles and methodology or for an independent viewpoint as a supplement to augment publications issued by appraisal associations.  I will post more details on the new edition in a few days as I get back into the swing of posting.

Also, as I mention a week or so ago, Cindy Charleston Rosenberg, ISA CAPP and past president of ISA will be presenting an International Society of Appraisers webinar on art market trends. The webinar is scheduled for November 21st.

The one hour webinar is only $40.00 for ISA members and $50.00 for non-members on November 21, 2017. If you are interesting in current trends in the art market, as an appraiser, dealer, collector or allied professional. Cindy's webinar presentation should give good details and fill many of the gaps in understanding current art market trends.

The ISA webinar Leveraging Art Market Trends to Build Your Appraisal Practice is scheduled for Tuesday Nobember 21st at 1:00 pm EST (2:00 pm CST).

The International Society of Appraisers reports on the webinar
Shifting collecting patterns, goals and objectives can present powerful business opportunities for appraisers. What are the emerging trends in the management of art as a tangible asset class? How reliable are art market reports, and how can the appraiser use these statistics to build relationships with tax, wealth and legal advisers?

Learn how to educate wealth managers, attorneys and tax professionals about the seven key questions they should be asking their clients about their collections, and how these discussions can generate repeat sources of high-level appraisal assignments.

Participants are encouraged to email Cindy Charleston-Rosenberg at info@artappraisalfirm.com in advance of the webinar with any challenges they’ve encountered accessing and interacting with the wealth management community.

*This webinar will take place from 2:00-3:00pm CST.
