Subject: 2014 charitable contributions of art
Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2014 21:31:55 +0000
Jeffrey,
Leon and I spoke on Friday about the charitable contributions of art that he is making to MoMA this year, namely, the
Kippenberger, Untitled (from the Raft of Medusa series) and his 48% interest in the Braque, Homage to J.S. Bach.
I recommended to Leon that we use Winston Art Group to prepare the charitable contribution appraisal instead of
Sotheby's (or Christie's) because of my concern that auction house appraisals may not meet all of the requirements of a
"qualified appraisal." Leon said he wants to use Sotheby's as the appraiser because he is not convinced that Winston Art
Group has the requisite knowledge to determine the correct values for the works. Sotheby's standard appraisals arguably
do not meet the "qualified appraisal by a qualified appraiser" test, but I will make sure that the appraisal they prepare for
Leon contains all of the necessary information, and that the Sotheby's specialists who sign the appraisal are certified
under USPAP (which is the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice).
I've told Patty Lipshutz (GC at MoMA) that Leon will be making these donations on December 1, 2014. I'm preparing
Deeds of Gift for Leon and Debra to sign and will send them to you first for your review. I'll ask Sotheby's to give us their
values for these works as soon as possible, with the hard copy of the appraisal to follow, and will let you and Rich J. know
the values as soon as I have them.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Heather
