In today's Ask Amy column, Amy Dickinson responds to a couple who is unsure how to properly discard of their art collection.
My husband and I were far-off neighbors to an eccentric and very talented painter. We truly loved and admired his work and bought several pieces from him.
He and his wife had one child, who seems to be as eccentric as his father. He is middle-aged. He is very nice, but does not have a fixed address or live in the area. After the artist’s death, his wife moved into a nursing facility. The son reached out to us to see if we could take in the work that the artist had left behind.We went to his studio and discovered a treasure trove of hundreds of pieces – framed, unframed, and in various styles. We immediately offered to purchase several dozen of these pieces – and to preserve them – and the widow and son agreed and were delighted.
We mounted a show of this work, which was well attended . This artist’s work was viewed and appreciated by many people, and is still on display locally.Now, more than 10 years later, the widow has died. We are thinking about selling our own place and don’t know what to do with the stored pieces.I take it that these pieces still belong to the artist’s family. You should make every effort to involve the son and work with him to convey this work safely to another location.
