Baer has acted as a consultant to auction companies dealing in Navajo blankets, including Bonham’s of San Francisco, Christie’s of New York, Heritage Auctions of Dallas, and Sotheby’s of New York.

Joshua Baer has advertised appraisal and consultation services in the Santa Fe Yellow Pages, American Indian Art Magazine, The Magazine Antiques, and online at westernpictures.net and navajoblanketappraisals.com.

Baer has appraised works of antique ceremonial art which were repatriated to the Acoma, Apache, Hopi, Jemez, and Navajo tribes.
In 1996, Joshua Baer testified as an expert witness in a court case involving commercial values of Navajo blankets (Burke vs. Harmon; Lincoln, Nebraska, June, 1996). Baer has appeared on CNBC (January, 1997), on NBC (January, 1997), and on CBS (October, 2000) as an appraiser of antique Native American art, and as an authority on the market for Navajo blankets. On January 14, 1997, Baer was featured in USA Today as a prominent dealer in Navajo blankets. Between February, 2000, and February, 2001, Baer performed online appraisals as the Native American art specialist at auctionwatch.com.
Joshua Baer is a magna cum laude graduate of the University of California at Santa Cruz, with bachelor’s degrees in Art History and English Literature in 1974. Baer is the author of three books about Native American art: Collecting The Navajo Child’s Blanket (1986),
Twelve Classics (1989), and The Last Blankets (1998). Baer’s articles on Native American art have appeared in Hali Magazine, The Magazine Antiques, Tribal Art Magazine, and the Santa Fean Magazine. Baer has written articles about Navajo blankets and prehistoric Southwestern pottery for auctionwatch.com.
In 1986, Joshua Baer curated an exhibition of Navajo child’s blankets for Morning Star Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In 1992, Baer curated Space and Design, an exhibition of classic Navajo chief’s blankets, for the Monterey Peninsula Museum in Monterey, California. In 1998, Baer curated The Last Blankets, an exhibition of nineteenth and early twentieth century Navajo double saddle blankets. The Last Blankets appeared at Joshua Baer & Company in Santa Fe, and at the Winter Antiques Show in New York City. In 2001, in cooperation with the San Francisco Folk Art Museum, Baer curated The Rio Grande Serape, an exhibit of historic Navajo, Rio Grande, and Saltillo serapes for the Tribal and Textile Show at Fort Mason in San Francisco, California.
In March of 2012, Baer appraised the Chantland First Phase Chief’s Blanket, which later sold at auction for $1,800,000, then a record price for a Navajo chief’s blanket. In 2015, Baer appraised the Denman Ross First Phase for the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Standard Appraisals include the Replacement Values of the works being appraised. Custom Appraisals include Replacement Values and Fair Market Values of the works being appraised, and recommendations regarding how, when, and where to donate or sell the appraised works of art.
Joshua Baer is available for consultations regarding auction consignments, auction estimates and reserves, bidding representation at auction, long-term management of private or corporate art collections, and the cleaning and restoration of Navajo blankets. Consultation fees are based on the nature of the consultation, the research involved, and the client’s ability to pay for the consultation.

To long of a post...my attention span was lost after the third paragraph. No disrespect to you but if you truly want to get your message across for the love of god break it down. Similar as you did to your rug making plant. Adult learners learn differently. Honestly no disrespect to you. I aprecate the knowledge you give me. Honest feed back.

Randy Hyde is the reigning President of ARCS. He will likely address any questions one may have. He is a man of few words and to the point. Robert Mann is too. Mr. Mann may provide insight on his upcoming presentation at ARCS.

If you pay and show up then we will let you dip your hands in the water and sprinkle it on Robert Pettyjohn as he drinks the "rug beer" in ritual. This brings a calm in the universe as it comes into balance.

Some original speakers as advertised could not make it. However, the replacements were very good! In no particular order are some photo's and video.
