There are more than a few reasons Corinne Cain has become globally recognized as a highly skilled appraiser. She is the only appraiser internationally accredited in both Fine and American Indian arts. Her ability to instantly recognize the creator of a piece of art is often dubbed a “savant” talent, and is one of the reasons she has successfully continued her practice for more than 35 years. Her appraisal competency covers Japanese woodblock prints, fine original prints from various cultures spanning as many as four centuries and American and European paintings, drawings, sculpture and photography. Her proficiency also includes the valuing of American Indian basketry, jewelry, kachinas, pottery and textiles. And, her talent as an expert witness has shortened many legal proceedings, because she has an ability to expose critical information regarding a piece of art.
Corinne has coined the term “Asset Shepherding” to describe her capability of quickly assessing the quality of a work of art. In essence, Corinne can go through as many as several hundred works of art and rapidly “separate the wheat from the chaff.”
Call it immersion or obsession, the challenges of appraisal have continued to intrigue Corinne for more than 35 years.
