Re: i love art!!! especially lost & found art.
That actually is sad as very often the value
to the owner is much more than the cost of
replacement or the insurance value. I would
think the right thing to do is to offer it
back to the owner as recovered. They can
buy it back for the insurance price. Its the
right thing but is it done?? You perhaps would
know.
Having been a dealer in collectibles for many
years and privy to some other really unique
collections, I appreciate that it is one of
your favorite interests. Certainly though,
now that I realize this is an actual business,
dealing in lost art, I will not be so quick to
ship stuff as it seems you take a huge chance
losing something of great value to insurance.
The shippers give it to you and voila, it is no
longer your painting, it is a product to be sold
with no hope of recovery??
I know art is a great investment...ggg...as well,
do you. I bet you do get to see some really nice
stuff.
