Abstract:
Artists' Estates offers a journey into the art world through the lens of those who deal with the paintings, prints, and sculpture that artists leave behind after their deaths. It provides a window into the conflicts and frustrations, and the emotional and financial strains that confront widows, sons, and daughters as the heirs to artists' estates.
