Modern Interpretations.

$65 Members, $75 Non-members
Folk Art encompasses a lot of
territory. Paintings, objects,
textiles and every other media find their places in the world of Folk Art.
As a rule, modern Folk Art
interpretations are not meant to be fraudulent. In fact, most currently made objects are
made in homage to past ones.
However, the lack of
facts or removal of identification causes problems for collectors and
appraisers.
Are you aware of the
interpretations that are out there in the marketplace? Would you know an antique folk art
object from a 20th century revival piece? If not, your due
diligence becomes a significant issue for recognizing and appraising this
property.
Whether
you are a generalist, fine art or decorative arts appraiser, this
webinar will further your knowledge and enhance your
expertise.
