<p>[QUOTE="Lithographer, post: 3778929, member: 13308"]Last March I attended a very nice auction in Kalamazoo that had a great art and signature collection. I purchased a number of pieces at the auction. 3 of the pieces I purchased were Liverdun (from the 12 etchings from nature), by Whistler, Elms in May by Childe Hassam and House on Main, East Hampton by Hassam (both signed in pencil). I think I paid about $300 for the 3. I have sent these out to a conservator to be conserved so that I can display them in the house. I am curious to hear peoples opinions on conservation. My perspective is that I am primarily a collector and feel the need to preserve the work for the future and return it to a state where it can be enjoyed. In terms of the financial end, I have paid for my collection by buying and selling things I am not interested in keeping or rotating pieces out of the collection.[ATTACH=full]315743[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]315744[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]315745[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
