Learn Art Appraisal – with Michael Rose

For most people, the only exposure they’ve had to appraisals is through The Antiques Roadshow. But, that’s not really what appraisals are like. There’s actually a great deal of process behind the scenes, including inspections, research, and writing.

Michael Rose is offering a quick crash course in the basics of appraisals for collectors and artists online on Saturday, July 25 at 6pm. Cost is $15. The event will be interactive and be held on ZOOM.

Rose says, “I hope you’ll join me to learn more about the realities of art appraising! Know someone who might be interested in this program? Feel free to pass along the information.”

About Art Appraisal Basics

Art appraisal is an important means to learn more about the background and value of one’s collection. While most people are familiar with the “appraisals” of programs like Antiques Roadshow, this short crash course will detail the when, why, and how of professional appraisal practice and teach how collectors can go about securing appropriate valuations for their artworks. This is ideal for individuals who own artworks and would like to learn more about the appraisal process. Attendees will walk away with a working knowledge of art appraisals.

This interactive speaking program will take place live via Zoom Saturday, July 25 at 6pm. Michael will speak and share slide images for approximately 45mins. Participants will receive a Zoom link the day of the event.

Participants are welcome to submit questions before, during, or after the event.
