Liz Beaman has more than twenty-five years of experience in the art market. At Christie's she was Senior Vice President and Head of American Art; at Sotheby's she was Vice President and Specialist in American Art and later Senior Vice President, Head of Southern California, leading the house's business in Los Angeles. Across those roles she oversaw major auction and private sales, negotiated consignments with collectors and estates, and built relationships with museums, dealers and private clients on both coasts.

She founded Beaman Delman Fine Arts in 2020 to give collectors the same expertise from the client's side of the table. In 2021 she also launched Above the Sofa, an advisory practice for interior designers.

Liz has served on the board of the Archives of American Art, the Director's Council of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Director's Circle of the Hammer Museum, and three affinity groups at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, including the Collectors Committee. She is a graduate of Vanderbilt University and a native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where her grandfather, the abstract painter Richard Bancroft Beaman, was the Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Art at Carnegie Mellon University.
