Contemporary Paintings - Oil or Acrylic on Canvas
REGISTRATION FOR THIS INDIVIDUAL SESSION IS FULL. WAITLIST AVAILABLE.
LIMITED REGISTRATION FOR THE FULL SERIES IS AVAILABLE HERE.

One of the most challenging aspects of appraising a damaged artwork for the independent appraiser is establishing the loss of value without the benefit of another colleague to act as your sounding board. This session, part of a three-part series, will serve as an open forum for you to make sure you’ve covered all your bases when defending your argument for loss.Hosted by Jennifer Garland Ross, AAA, and Emily Thompson, AAA, each afternoon will focus on one specific period and medium, with a special guest appraiser working in that discipline.

The group will meet at Modern Art Conservation, where Suzanne Siano, Chief Conservator and Director, will demonstrate various treatments and conservation issues specific to contemporary paintings done in oil or acrylic on canvas. You will see some of the typical damages and hear Siano's considerations and processes for conservation.

Then the group will return to the offices of the Appraisers Association, where Deborah Spanierman, AAA, will join to discuss various case studies and the different approaches to valuation that an appraiser must deliberate before finalizing a report. Send us your case studies before the date so we can have relevant and real-time discussion. We will treat everything with the utmost discretion.
