Due to the nature of the estate works, they are a piece of time in which they were conceived. Characteristics such as style, material, and techniques used allow the works to charter a particular time in the life of its artist. The market these pieces thrive in and the pieces themselves tell stories that live past the complex making process. The longevity of the work’s significance and its lasting beauty impart this to Patina’s Contemporary Estate Collection: There isn’t a shelf life to great art.

“Patina has been entrusted with personal and very astute collections. These pieces have given joy and pleasure to their collectors and they now go back into the world as rarified and coveted treasures with their own unique history.” – Patina’s director, Ivan Barnett
