Why Legacy Matters

Artistic legacy refers to the lasting impact, influence, or significance that a particular artist, art movement, style, or individual artwork has on subsequent generations, art history, and cultural heritage. It encompasses the artistic contributions and achievements that endure over time, shaping the evolution of art and influencing future artists and art movements. When artistic legacy is disrupted by fraud, misattribution, or theft, the harm to society and art history is immeasurable.
