Art after Death is a suite of specialized services provided by the creative art business consultancy The Henry Lydiate Partnership LLP.
Death is never an easy or a pleasant subject – whether it is addressed in advance or after the event. In the case of an artist and those close to him or her, there are very particular and special concerns. For example, the artist’s newly bereaved family and friends and professional colleagues may face not only their personal loss but the very pressing question of what is to happen to the artist’s work. There is also the increasingly interesting and productive area of pre-death planning where a whole range of creative possibilities come into play to deliver new and lasting provision, such as trusts and foundations, legacies, extended loans, donations, educational scholarships, as well as the creation of artworks.
As a result of many years of providing specialized advice and help to artists and art professionals, The Henry Lydiate Partnership has developed a range of services to address the issues connected with end of life and planning the creation and development of artistic legacy.
