Interview with Delphine Bisman
What was your path before IESA?
After a literary baccalauréat, I immediately joined IESA arts&culture for a 3-year art market program: the Bachelor in Art Appraisal and Art Trade. I then turned to gemology and obtained the gemologist diploma. A few years of law studies later, I passed the voluntary-sale auctioneer and judicial auctioneer exam in 2011.
Why did you choose IESA?
IESA immediately interested me through its direct immersion in the art market, the choice of instructors, and above all the professional internships on offer.
What were the highlights of your time at IESA?
I greatly appreciated the instructors' involvement in our professional development. In addition, the internships, the hands-on experience, and the many encounters were decisive in my choice of career.
What Is Your Job Today?
I am an auctioneer and gemologist in the family auction house in Rouen, specializing in jewelry. I strive to rejuvenate and energize auctions in our city and to create events around our themed sales.
How to Become an Auctioneer?
Do you want to become an auctioneer? IESA’s certified title "Cultural Goods and Services Specialist-Advisor" is one of the only private school titles admitted as equivalent to a bachelor’s degree in art history for registering for the entrance exam of the auctioneer training program (Official Journal of 28/09/04). You can earn this State-recognized level II title at the end of your Bac+3 program in Art Appraisal and Art Trade.
