FAIR lists Mitchell J Korst as a website-backed unclaimed Santa Fe, NM profile with Fine art and Antiques service categories, American Indigenous Art, American Indigenous Artifacts, Paintings, Pottery, and Textiles specialty language, and an ISA credential-like signal. FAIR shows source checked 2026-05-26, but no FAIR verified status, fee statement, USPAP education detail, formal-use routing signal, or claim/control status. The ISA profile lists Mitchell J Korst, ISA, at 1106 Canyon Road in Santa Fe, with matching specialties and appraisal categories. Its bio describes him as an appraiser and collector of historic Native American material and other tribal artifacts and objects, with appraisal work for insurance companies and dealers of historic American Indian art, gallery work on Canyon Road, artwork-description writing, and a bachelor's degree in finance from Indiana University. The linked Canyon Road Appraisals site lists Mitchell Korst, ISA, a Santa Fe Canyon Road address, appraisal services for collections, estates, donations, cataloging, insurance claims, tax evaluations, and research, and a focus on American Indian Art, Folk Art, Tribal Art, Western Americana, Western Paintings, and Vintage Photography. Before outreach, confirm whether the assignment belongs with Mitchell or the broader Canyon Road Appraisals team, current fee terms, report purpose, inspection or remote-review method, timing, and whether the object fits the stated Native American, tribal, Western, painting, pottery, textile, or related categories.
The clearest source-backed fit is Santa Fe appraisal questions involving historic Native American or American Indian material, tribal artifacts and objects, pottery, paintings, textiles, Folk Art, Tribal Art, Western Americana, Western Paintings, Vintage Photography, and collection or insurance/tax/estate/donation contexts.
Use the ISA profile or Canyon Road Appraisals contact path to confirm identity, role, object category, and report purpose. Ask whether the appraisal is for insurance, estate, donation, tax evaluation, cataloging, research, or collection planning, and get fee basis, inspection method, documents needed, and timing in writing.
