Today, I'm interviewing Alvah Beander, who is a fine art appraiser specializing in Traditional and Contemporary African Art, art by African Americans, including Folk Art and Art by people of the African Diaspora. She is a member of the International Society of Appraisers, the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, and holds an MBA from Marymount University of Management in Arlington Virginia.

You will learn:

  • How to value art on all levels, including monetary, societal, and emotional value
