You probably have questions
When it comes to successful deaccessioning, there are many variables that impact results. Here are just a few of the details we take into consideration in developing a plan for the strongest results.
Should you sell or donate?
Part of every deaccessioning strategy is determining whether the proceeds of a sale or the tax savings of donation will offer you a stronger financial result.
How do you find a buyer?
Jane Jackson has extensive experience and a wide network of connections among auction houses, galleries, and private buyers. She understands the strengths of each venue, how to approach the gate openers.
When and where should you sell or donate?
The art market is constantly influenced by shifting trends and current events. An item with little demand in the U.S. may be massively hot in Europe. And a major exhibition can pique current desire for that lesser-known piece in your collection. Jane keeps track of these factors and considers both optimal timing and location in crafting the strongest strategy for your deaccessioning plan.
How do you donate?
Museums often have specific areas of focus and strict criteria for donations. We work with you to identify museums or educational institutions that will be delighted to receive your gift.
How do you make sure your items show well?
Because Jane understands how the process works, she also knows how to present works of art and other valuable items to their best advantage. Her services include negotiating the details that influence how well an item shows such as photography, the length and quality of catalog essays, placement, and previews.
How are the fees determined?
Because Jane Jackson Art + Object represents a variety of clients, we can have more negotiating power than an individual in negotiating auction terms. Our fee structure may be either a flat fee or commission-based and are determined on the total value of the sale. However, we believe in financial transparency, so you will know what to expect and receive timely updates at every stage of the process.
