The Artist's Estate

"Andy Warhol said, "Death can really make you look like a star."But death does not necessarily secure the relevance of an artist. What is crucial in that endeavor is a professional management structure for the post-humous preservation and development of an artist's estate. Loretta Würtenberger presents a handbook for this, offering appropriate financing models, possible legal frameworks, as well as advice on how to properly handle the art market, museums, and academia. She has been advising artists and artists' estates for many years in their structuring, growth, and operational questions. Based on numerous international examples, the different alternatives for maintaining an artist's estate are explained and recommendations made on how to ideally handle an artist's estate."
