Assets 2025 Speaker Interview: Thomas R. Kline in Conversation with Ashley Crawford (ISA AM)

 We are very excited for the celebrated art lawyer Thomas R. Kline to join us at this year’s ISA Assets Conference to present his lecture Appraiser Self-Protection: Avoiding Title and Ownership Claims! In preparation for this general session presentation, Asian art specialist Ashley Crawford (ISA AM) met with Tom to learn more about his important work, the Washington DC art market, and what appraisers need to know about art law.

Here's a recap of all of the Q and A that was covered during the March 11, 2025 Office Hours with the Director of Education.

Steve Roach, JD, ISA CAPP provides valuable insight about this lighthearted vandalism!
