In 2020, Michele C. Quinn became an Associate Appraiser for 20th & 21st century fine art with the Appraisers Association of America (AAA) and is currently USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice) compliant through April 2024.
Working with an appraiser who truly understands the value of your art can help you decide on how much to insure it for, determine if a piece of art is worth salvaging if damaged, create a donation value for the IRS, verify value for resale, give insurance adjustors information on values to pay out claims if art is lost or stolen, provide information to accountants and tax preparers and more
