Conference

Question: I have not yet utilized the ISA office hours platform yet and was a bit curious about it. Is this something that I can just join and listen in to hear all the questions asked and answered or is this a one-on-one thing? Do I have to have a question to join the meeting? How are questions submitted? 

As a generalist, I constantly read, listen and observe auction values and retail prices in the furniture and decorative art markets. Auction houses and bidding platforms publish articles and blogs almost daily describing their thoughts and forecasts for values in the fine art market. However, I often cannot find observations about future trends and market outlooks in the areas of furniture and decorative arts.

This year, ISA honored our much-deserving 2021 award recipients at a virtual awards program on May 14. Please join us in congratulating the individuals below for their significant contributions and service to you and ISA.

To become a connoisseur, curiosity is required. One must dedicate time and energy to asking questions, train her/his eyes to observe detail, and learn to compare and contrast objects so as to build up the experience necessary to make decisions about quality.
