To all,
Please post your responses to the list. I just recently started the
appraisal studies certificate program at the George Washington
University. While I thoroughly enjoyed the courses I have taken thus
far, I too wonder about how I'm going to break into the appraisal
business. Just for the record, I also have a Master's in museum
studies from GWU.
To Caroline, In addition to checking out the American Association of
Art Appraisers site I also suggest you check out the site for the
American Society of Appraisers (ASA). The program at GWU includes
taking the four basic personal property appraisal courses offered by
ASA.
Thanks!

Hello,
This question may not directly relate to the content of this list, but
I am hoping a subscriber from an art institution has suggestions.
I am a graduate student studying art history and library science
(interest in reference work) and am trying to locate basic information
about art appraisal as a career. I am specifically interested in
working with
20th century American art. Although I have found a web site for the
American Association of Art Appraisers, as well as information about
certificate programs in art appraisal offered by Georgetown and NYU, I
am
still seeking answers to several basic career questions:
1.) Is there a typical career path which art appraisers follow-- i.e.,
apprenticeship to an experienced appraiser, working independently?
2.) Are most appraisers employed by galleries, auction houses, and/or
art insurers, or do appraisers tend to work independently?
3.) What is the current job market for appraisers and how much can an
appraiser expect to earn at different stages of his/her career? Also--
do appraisers' earnings reflect the current art market at any given
time?
Any answers or suggestions for a good information source are much
appreciated!
Thank you in advance for your time and thoughts.
Yours truly,
Caroline Seigel
