Elizabeth Kessin Berman, A.A., Appraisers National Association
Elizabeth Kessin Berman is accredited by the Appraisers National Association and she is USPAP tested and passed at the New York offices of the Appraisers Association of America in November, 2006.
Elizabeth is originally from the Boston area. But she has wandered the world for art's sake. She attended art school at California College of Arts and Crafts and then turned to the academic study of the history of art. Ms. Berman graduated Boston College, and with the proper course work in the art of the ancient world, she spent a lengthy time in Israel working on an archaeology degree at Hebrew University. She also made her living as a field and research archaeologist with both the Israel Department of Antiquities and Hebrew Union College. Back from Israel, she earned Masters Degrees in ancient art and archaeology from Harvard Divinity School and Harvard University's Fine Arts Department. She has traveled extensively in Europe, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, and Egypt.
In 1983, Elizabeth turned her attention to the then emerging world of Jewish museums. From her residence in Washington D.C, she played an important role in the development of Jewish museum collections. She worked for Dr. Grace Cohen Grossman on the pioneering catalogue of the Smithsonian's Judaica collection. Later she was the inaugural curator of the Jewish Museum of Maryland until she joined the team of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and became a member of its founding staff. She has been a curator of major collections and exhibitions of Judaica, modern, and contemporary art and ancient art objects and has written and lectured on these topics for over 25 years.
Elizabeth currently operates two appraisal companies, one Judaica In Context, devoted to expert appraisals of Judaica objects, Jewish art and Jewish historical documents. The other is Collections In Context, a company devoted appraisals and curatorial services related to modern and contemporary art and general estate appraisals.
