Appraisers’ skill set often overlap with those of collections managers, but appraisers may not know exactly what their role is in terms of caring for a collection. This breakout session will be a conversation among experienced independent collections managers who will give an overview of their expertise, the services they provide, and their thoughts on the future of the collaboration between appraisers and collections managers.

Appraisers Association members receive 1.5 CE (Continuing Education) Credits.

Maura Kehoe Collins is founder of Artiphile, an independent art advisory specializing in art collections management services, established in 1991 to promote the conscientious stewardship of cultural property in privately held collections.

Trained in Asian art conservation, Collins worked at the Metropolitan Museum of Art NY and the British Museum, London before shifting focus from the public to the private sector, and from repair to prevention and ultimately proactive succession planning.
