From mid-September to mid-November 2024, the BBK Saxony-Anhalt conducted a survey on artists’ estates. Visual artists and estate holders (institutions and private individuals) were invited to take part. The response was great. The Museum and Archive Association, the Saxony-Anhalt Art Foundation and other partners forwarded our appeal, articles about the project appeared in the press and our various online channels also repeatedly drew attention to the survey.

We would like to thank everyone who took part in the survey and its dissemination!

Around 100 artists and 25 estate holders completed our questionnaire. This is a solid result and roughly corresponds to the participation rate in a survey conducted in Saxony in fall 2020. We are now working on the evaluation and expect to be able to present the results in January 2025.
