Part 2 of our "Legacy" curriculum, which focuses on how to build longevity into your collection for the sake of your legacy and the legacy of the artists within it.
Join Caitlin Yates of Bullimore Partners to discuss the basics of collection management — from the archival must haves (invoices!) to the nice to haves (correspondence with the artist!) — to how to think thoroughly about who will steward your collection when you move on from it (either through donation, deacquisition, gifting, or estates).
