I think this would be a good idea for a lot of my art. Much of it has been sittin around for a good while.
The trick would be to get a pop up shop together for the sale!
In a great location.

Yeok: They might want a reproduction for their office, to give as a gift, or for a vacation home. You just never know. Can’t hurt to offer.

Hi Alyson, I’m a little confused as why would original art collector will be interested in reproduction?
Thanks for all your advice, they are extremely helpful!

It really was wonderful finding homes for all of these pieces – maybe the threat of having them be destroyed was what worked… on the other hand I had a few people ask if I was quitting art and some others that thought I was moving, LOL.
It was an amazing, fun day!

Alyson, are you recommending the sale strategy even for original works? I was thinking of trying an auction to find homes for older pieces but this sale idea and the ones mentioned in your post today sound simpler. Thanks for your help and ideas!

Not too structured. One quick post on our Facebook fan page saying price. I sold two of the mandalas and three of the jury day design.

You have such a generous spirit, Sari. I love that this worked for you.
Interesting thought about tax repercussions.
