“The Everson Museum of Art deaccessioned many Japanese woodblock prints from its collection because they fell outside of the museum’s mission of collecting
American modern and contemporary art. We chose to work with [FWG] to auction the prints on the recommendation of other museums, and are extremely satisfied with the results. The staff is professional, dependable, and committed to getting the best outcome for the museum. We would absolutely work with [FWG] again in the future.”
“Over the prior two decades, [FWG] has worked with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art … to deaccession duplicate prints or those that are unusable for exhibition, scholarship, or educational purposes. [FWG’s] estimates
are accurate, and [they have] developed a system of auctions suited to museum standards for ethical and proper deaccession… I highly recommend [FWG] for the sensitive process of deaccessioning Japanese prints for museums.”
