Creative Legacies : Artists’ Estates and Foundations

Creative Legacies takes an in-depth look at how to create and maintain an artist's estate, offering practical advice illustrated by real-life examples.

Creative Legacies provides a nuanced investigation of specific topics relevant to artists’ legacies. The book includes carefully selected perspectives from many of the world's foremost thought-leaders and practitioners in this field. Readers will come away from the book with a greater awareness of the complex issues central to working with creative individuals and how these and the scholarly dialogues pertaining to them affect the legacies in the present as well as in perpetuity. Unlike a 'how-to' guide or an instruction manual, Creative Legacies illustrates that there is no singular or standard approach when working with artists; it highlights a spectrum of issues and considerations essential to understanding how a creative legacy is perceived and maintained economically, curatorially and critically.

Prowda, Ann-Marie Richard, Christine J. Vincent, Eric M. Wolf, Robin Wright and Loretta Würtenberger.
