Until August cialis cadastro desconto I am the Director and a Senior Appraiser at New York Fine Art Appraisers, one of the leading independent advisory and appraisal firms of the fine and decorative arts in the country. In short, I am an appraisal dork. I have valued meteorites, one of George Washingtonâ?s teeth, and individual works of fine art and collections that have the value of a small countryâ?s GNP â? all to industry standard and with substantiated narratives and documentation that have invariably been accepted by the Internal Revenue Service Commissionerâ?s Art Advisory Panel and every major insurance company operating in the United States. I enjoy the minutia of hunting down comparable values and other research as well as strategic planning for collectors, corporations, and arts institutions and the invigorating process of being an expert witness in cases involving the monetary value of art and antiques. I come by it honestly: I grew up with Arts and Crafts Period furniture, in my late teens fell hopelessly in love with Marcel Duchampâ?s radical Nude Descending a Staircase (No. 2) (1912), and followed a loosely defined yet viable career path of someone enamored of the fine and decorative arts and of methodical processes: internships and jobs at auction houses (Sothebyâ?s, Skinnerâ?s), BA magna cum laude from Boston University, Master of the Arts in the History of Decorative Arts, Design, and Culture from the Bard Graduate Center, and my current company.
