Description
In our latest episode we visit with artist legacy specialist Ursula Davila-Villa. In her crucial work, Ursula helps artists and their families put appropriate plans in place to ensure that their work and archives will exist in a way consistent with the artist’s wishes after they are gone. This unique work draws upon conservation, archives, estate planning, curation, and more. Despite how critical this work is, it isn’t really something you can go to school for. Tune in to hear the fascinating path that led Ursula to become a leader in this field, working countless artists including Cecilia Vicuña, Lorraine O'Grady, Carolee Schneemann, and many more.
