Appraisals

Her appraisal specialties are postwar and contemporary art (with special expertise in experimental art, artistic avant-gardes, and New York artists from the Abstract Expressionists to the Pictures Generation); photography of all eras, including fine art, documentary, and vernacular photographs; print ephemera, especially late-twentieth-century artists’ books and zines; and archives and collections, including the personal papers of artists, writers, and performers, and assembled collections of manuscripts and memorabilia.
Additionally, Lisa is a candidate for accredited membership in the Appraisers Association of America for her specialty in Photography. Accredited membership is limited to those individuals with significant expertise, qualifying education, and a minimum of five years in personal property appraisal, and whose application and sample reports have been approved by a panel of AAA specialists.
