Fellow appraiser Nancy Bosch recently sent me a link to the most recent Chubb Collectors Newsletter. It has some interesting items in it. It reports the US Congress may be near in passing the Artist Museum Partnership Bill which will allow artist to deduct donations for more than the cost of supplies. I have posted on this bill in the past (click HERE to read), but it does take a while for the bills to work there way through Congress and to be reconciled. Hopefully it will be approved and become law, it is fair to museums in getting more work from contemporary artists, it is fair to the artist in receiving a donation amount more than for just materials, and should bring additional work to appraisers. A win/win for all involved.The Chubb Collector also has a condensed version of Matthew Wilcox's article on illustration art from the Journal of Advanced Appraisal Studies, and an article on Art Level Oriental Rugs and How to recognize them.
All in all, a very good issue of the Chubb Collector.
