FOR ESTATES

Artworks belonging to improperly managed estates, even if it is simple disorganisation, never reach the values of those which are strictly organised and controlled. Especially in situations when there are more editions that can be cast or printed.

This process is a lot easier if the living artist has an organised archive but this is often not the case. Your heirs likely have their own lives and families to run and whilst your estate can be a wonderful income for them, it can also be a daunting and emotional burden to protect. There is no rule that heirs to an estate are capable of running a complex art business even if they want to protect your legacy. Running an estate requires an organised system, a PR team, a social media expert, a website designer and a writer and finding these all in one person is almost impossible.

We hit estates in two directions - 1) we help artists during their life-time create robust systems that can be taken on by their heirs without having to put their lives on hold and 2) we help the heirs establish a system from scratch that will seamlessly run alongside their day to day lives. We also support existing estates in the areas they need to develop in the same way we do living artists, by offering packages that can be picked up and dropped as needed in all areas of estate development. We have tried and tested different systems and can recommend a way forward.

And of course the final step of an archive is always a catalogue or book for which we have experienced art creatives to create a lasting hardcopy or digital statement.
