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.
We were able to record on a significant day – Martin Luther King Day.
In this episode you will learn:
- How to value art on all levels, including monetary, societal, and emotional value
- Observations on artists whose careers have gone from “unknown” to “successful”
- What can be learned from studying art
And much more!
