Art Appraiser

Money & Outlook

Insider Info

Appraiser Kimball Sterling says it's a prime time for the buying and selling of art. "A lot of them can't find qualified people to appraise their art. I get calls and e-mails every day from across the country," says Sterling.

He adds, however, a note of caution: there's a difference between becoming certified and actually being qualified in this field. The market calls for the qualified kind.

"You can go to school for 12 hours and become a certified appraiser. And you can be a qualified appraiser and have worked in the field 15 or 20 years."

Qualification comes with years of experience. Sterling suggests finding a mentor through a reputable auction house or a museum.

Earnings and employment information from the U.S. Department of Labor is not available for this field at this time.
