About the Event
What do you do with an existing body of artwork that has not been fully archived? Perhaps you find yourself as the executor of an artist’s estate, or worse, if you are placed in charge of the affairs of someone who has died intestate.
Join us for a panel discussion, moderated by Annie Shaver-Crandell, as we discuss how to think about publicizing art that remains in the possession of a living or deceased artist. Learn about how to prepare art for a professional loan, for sale, a monograph, or a catalogue raisonné.
This talk may also be accessed online via Zoom. During the event, please click on Attend Online to do so.
Hungry?
Grab a bite to eat after the event from our dining room (a normally member-exclusive benefit)! Ticketed attendees who would like to stay for drinks and dinner should make dining reservations in advance via our Reservations page with the message “Collections talk”.
About the Speakers
Annie Shaver-Crandell
Annie Shaver-Crandell, after a first career in academia as a historian of the art and architecture of the Middle Ages, and now Professor Emerita from The City College of New York, is now primarily a practicing painter and monotype artist. Realizing that her second career has generated much more physical residue than her first, she is actively engaged in creating her personal archive and estate-plan. Her intention is to create a series of forums in which other artists and their supporters can become aware of and address some of their own affairs in a timely way.
She is a former member of the Board of Directors of Salmagundi, a Resident Artist member since 2001, an active participant in the club’s monotype parties and co-host of its monthly Argentine tango evenings.

Barbara Genco is the current 2nd Vice President of the Salmagundi Club and Executor of the estate of the late Bill Creevy MFA, PSA-MP/HoF, Salmagundian. She holds an MLS from Pratt Institute. Now retired and a volunteer, she had a 30+ year career at the Brooklyn Public Library where she last served as their Director of Collection Development. She was a long-time Adjunct at Pratt Institute Library School and a collection development consultant for Library Journal, where she co-edited two books.
She served multiple terms on the elected Board of the Association for Library Service to Children (including President) and the governing Council of the American Library Association. She served on numerous prestigious literary award committees including the Newbery, the Caldecott, and Boston-Globe Horn Book Award. Genco also produced countless book reviews for publications such as Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, and School Library Journal. She previously chaired the SCNY Library Committee and served on the Club’s Board.
