Our knowledge of and interaction with the art market, art in corporate settings, art professionals, curators and collections provides us with the skills and resources to not only build, but also to downsize and liquidate collections.

The key to a successful sale of artwork is timing, strategy and maximizing available sale channels appropriate to the quality of work including:

• On and Offline Auctions
• Public sale
• Consignment
• Placing with corporate collections or investment buyers
• Employee Sale
  

Recently we assisted with the liquidation of the entire Arthur Andersen art collection in Chicago, New York, Detroit, Minneapolis and Stamford.

Steps to consider in conducting an artwork sale include:

• Assess and evaluate the existing collection.
• Determine marketability of work through appropriate sale channels.
• Determine tax and PR benefits of donations.
• Analyze the cost of dispersing the collection vs. managing the collection.

In addition to selling an entire collection, select works can be sold if some of the collection is still in use, or as a means of funding new acquisitions.
