An artist’s legacy has a lasting impact when the stewards are able to keep the work alive by engaging successive generations of artists to draw inspiration from the work; when curators, scholars, art historians and collectors have the materials needed to continue building scholarship and discursive frameworks around an artist’s work; and when the primary, and in applicable cases secondary, markets are well managed and planned with a long-term strategy in place for growth and sustainability.

In close collaboration with artists, we work to:

• Develop detailed artistic legacy plans including preservation and artist intent documentation.
• Define strategic goals that are in line with the artist’s vision.
• Identify legacy goals such as catalogue raisonné, archive placement, collected writings, market growth, or addressing art historical blind spots.
• Outline the legal and financial structure to support the legacy.
• Determine personal and professional priorities.
• Develop succession plans.
• Strategize long-term institutional acquisition plans and identify short-term key museum acquisitions.
• Integrate all stakeholders in the planning and managing of the artistic legacy, including: family, heirs, friends, galleries, advisors, former employees or studio assistants, collectors, museums, curators, art historians, and the general public.

The long-term visibility and impact of an artist and their work on future generations lies in scholarship, museum exhibitions/collections, and publications that inscribe the art and legacy of an artist into the history of humanity. Through curatorial projects, writing, and institutional partnerships our goal is to ensure that the work has a life outside of the artist’s studio and private collections, and that it is firmly situated within wider art historical discourses.

Curatorial work, we work to:

• Organize solo and group exhibitions at galleries and museums.
• Provide support for artists’ touring exhibitions through development of tour proposals and outreach strategies.
• Conceive of and shepherd the production of monographs, scholarly publications, and exhibition catalogs.

Commissioned writing:

• Draft press releases.
• Write artist narrative biographies and artist statements.
• Pen catalogue essays.
• Ghostwrite for artists / collectors (interviews, op eds).
• Edit content / copy  on behalf of artists or estates (interviews, press releases, essays).

Institutional sales:

• Develop institutional acquisition strategies, both through purchase or gifting.
• Draft museum acquisition narratives/proposals and artwork descriptions.
• Undertake targeted institutional outreach.
• Foster relationships and liaise with artists/galleries and museums to support acquisitions.
  
• Generate installation and preservation artwork guidelines.

An artist’s legacy begins with and is fostered by the studio, in conjunction with all external partners: stakeholders, galleries, museums, foundations, and families. We help to strengthen the organization, procedures, and structure of a studio (large and small) and build the framework for strong partnerships that lead to responsible growth and organizational stability.

• Work with artists to create a road map that outlines their unique needs, desires, short and long-term goals, and expectations concerning the growth of their practice.
• Identify key goals and build a timeline in areas of exhibitions, sales, publications, and studio operation.
• Evaluate existing systems and operations in order to provide recommendations.
• Execute inventory management and artwork cataloging projects.
• Oversee and implement archive management and placement projects.
  
• Advise, guide and negotiate on behalf of artist’s third-party relationships, including gallery representation, image licensing, and special projects.
