Introduction to Appraising Fine Arts explores how professional personal property appraisers approach their work when forming an opinion of an object's value, including documenting works of art, understanding the characteristics that drive value, and explaining the methodologies that an appraiser uses in diverse contexts. Topics covered include the tools that appraisers employ when inspecting and identifying fine art objects, how condition can be viewed in diverse situations, and to what extent museums, collectors, galleries and auction houses have a role in influencing the art market and how that affects value. The course provides best-practice guidelines for pursuing and expanding research avenues and provides vivid, real-world examples and in-depth observations from a seasoned Fine Arts and Fine Arts Photography specialist.
