Appraiser's Biography:
Jeffrey Hendricks was born into a family of art dealers, appraisers, and collectors. While growing up in Japan from 1965- 1970, Jeffrey's parents introduced European graphics such as those by Rembrandt, Durer, and Picasso to the Japanese culture at the International House in Tokyo, Japan. Upon the family move to Bethesda, Maryland in 1970, Jeffrey's parents opened the Hendricks Art Collection, a foundational gallery for the Japanese Print Movement. Jeffrey was able to observe the growth and development of the leading Japanese artists of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Jeffrey Hendricks attended Dartmouth College for a number of years between 1982 and 1988 where he studied the arts with a major in film production. Jeffrey transferred his credits to New York University Tisch School of the Arts, from which he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1991.
In the 1990s, Jeffrey worked for the Kappy Hendricks Gallery which specialized in selling French Impressionist School oil paintings by artists such as Monet, Pisarro, and Mary Cassatt to Japanese collectors.
