ASA’s 2017 Personal Property Annual Connoisseurship Conference took place on May 4-6, 2017, at the Hilton Boston Bay Back Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts. This year’s theme—The Eye of the Beholder—A Revolution of Materials and Methods—attracted personal property appraisers from across the country, all eager to learn from a range of seasoned and well-regarded professionals.

Presenters drew on their experience as appraisers, museum directors, curators, auction house specialists, economists, artists, scientists, gallerists, collectors and scholars to put together a unique educational program. They traced the evolution of—and revolutions in—materials and methods in creating objects of personal property. Traditional connoisseurship and research met with the newest methods of scientific analysis to address issues of identification, provenance, cultural significance, artistic movements and market trends.

Presentations included Marks, Signatures, and Unique Characteristics of the Object; Museum Best Practices in Provenance Research and Collecting Cultural Property; New Techniques for Identifying Proteins and Modern Organic Pigments; The Development, Current Use and Pitfalls of Connoisseurship; Identifying Ceramics Through Material and Method of Manufacturer; Stoneware in America; Current Trends in British Ceramics at Auction; Boston Silver and Boston Arts and Crafts Silver, Particularly “Colonial Revival” Silver; Changing Demographics and Its Effect on Values; A Deeper Look: Frames Designed By and For Artists; Asian Art and Asian Styles in Colonial America; and The American Impressionists in Connecticut. Participants left with a new appreciation for the intricacies and complexities involved in appraising fine and decorative arts.

Memorable topics and quotes from ASA 2017 Personal Property Presenters

“Generational marketing is no longer a one size fits all approach. Each generation is defined and described in terms of the time period in which the generation grew up [as well as its] characteristics, lifestyles, attitudes, and values”— Analee McClellan, presentation on Changing Demographics and the Effect on Value

“As an appraiser, you are not an authenticator, but you are responsible for how you identify what you are appraising. You must be a Connoisseur capable of clearly and factually identifying the object, and explaining how confident you are of that identity.”— Peter V. Sorlien, presentation on Pillars of Identification: Marks and Signatures

“A good picture deserves a good frame and a bad picture may sometimes preserve its place longer by having a handsome frame.”— Suzanne Smeaton referencing Charles Willson Peale observation for Frame Designs by and for Artists

Attendees reconnected with their colleagues and networked with rising stars at a welcome reception sponsored by Kersten’s Antiques and the ASA Boston Chapter, and a cocktail reception at Vose Galleries, est. 1841, the oldest family-owned art gallery in America. The conference included tours to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and the Massachusetts College of Art and Design’s Print Making Shop, where students demonstrated printmaking techniques. The well-attended post-conference offered a difficult choice between trips to the Peabody Essex Museum or to Cogswell’s Grant.

Over 4,000 museum professionals from 40 different countries attended this year’s American Alliance of Museums Annual Meeting and MuseumExpo on May 7-10, 2017, in St. Louis, Missouri. Filled with hundreds of learning opportunities, this year’s conference focused on the importance of diversity, equality, accessibility, and inclusion in museums. ASA was represented by Connecticut-based personal property appraiser John A. Woods, ASA and ASA’s Accreditation and Reaccreditation Services Specialist, Jennifer Schleining.

Our volunteers spent most of their time speaking to attendees about topics such as the need for qualified appraisers to assist museums with important tasks such as developing and maintaining an accurate inventory of artifacts housed in their collections, working with insurance agencies to prepare comprehensive plans for insuring their collections against loss, and helping donors meet IRS requirements for non-cash contributions. Besides asking questions about museums’ appraisal needs, many museum curators inquired about ASA procedures for membership and how they can become ASA accredited appraisers.

New to this year’s booth, ASA held a raffle offering a grand prize of a Vinotemp wine cooler and a runner-up prize of a one-year subscription to Artforum. Jennifer Teter, Executive Director of the Quincy Art Center (Quincy, IL), was our grand prize winner and Cathy Callaway, Museum Educator at the Museum of Art and Archaeology (University of Missouri, Columbia), was our runner-up winner. These prizes proved to be an exceptional draw, based on the number of business cards placed in the raffle bowl. Many attendees were impressed by the prize and spread the word, which sent a lot of traffic to ASA’s booth and gave ASA a greater ability to engage with conference attendees.

Many of the museum staff members attending this event happily shared with our volunteers that their museum’s website already includes a link to ASA’s website and our “Find an Appraiser” tool.  It’s worth noting that while the “freebies” were what attracted attention, a considerable amount of official ASA literature was snatched up by attendees as well!
