An art collection frequently represents a substantial part of a family’s wealth and identity, and at the same time, has become a key aspect of its financial and succession planning. Art may be enjoyed from a variety of different perspectives—a store of wealth, a masterpiece to cherish, a family heirloom, a part of a trust or estate, or even a gift to a cultural institution.
