    Yes, I will store the expensive paintings in a house made of toothpicks and cardboard with a tar roof in a state known to have widespread fires every year. It is a good idea.

        people with significant money in art assets have it documented and insured. if he had 30 pieces just by warhols and additional, we’re likely talking millions of dollars of assets.

        nobody leaves millions of dollars lying around without some sort of insurance

        to be honest, this is a great opportunity for him to cash out of all his expensive art in one fell swoop. i would be elated if I were him

    Knowing what little I know about the fine art market, he can probably have the ashes authenticated and sold for a profit.

      On insurance company, my millions of dollars in art work burned up. Money please. No it’s not possible to verify if I just stuck them in a storage unit somewhere or not.
