Highlights From Assets 2014

A successful Assets 2014 came to a close yesterday in Kansas City, Mo., where over 175 appraisers from around the country came together at the InterContinental hotel to take part in educational sessions, networking, and guided tours around the city. During the conference, attendees were treated to a Kansas City-themed welcome reception, an opening session from keynote speaker and world-renowned art dealer and author, Michael Findlay, and access to the newly-released Guide to Appraising Fine Art.
