Downsizing and Resales

Rocks and Plains 1927 Ernest Lawson oil 16x20

Let’s face it, at some point we’re all going to need to downsize–unless you plan to leave it to your kids to handle. Most people I talk to don’t love the idea of their kids taking charge because they don’t know the value of your collection. Often, I’m told, the kids don’t want their parents art. The biggest fear is that they will dump everything at Good Will or have a big old garage sale.

I work with clients to handle downsizing and selling art from their collections. It’s a multistep process that starts with a clear recorded inventory. Here’s a sample of what that looks like:  The Joellyn Duesberry Collection.

I use Airtable, the cloud-based data and spreadsheet software, for all my clients. It is robust and allows me to organize everything, share only what we want to share, and even create invoices for sales. 

Once everything is organized and prices for resales established, I advise my clients on the best places to either sell or donate work. Some clients only want to go this far–they can share this information with their family and friends so that everyone knows how to handle the art collection. Other clients want me to oversee the sales, which is also something I do.
