Memorialization: Management of a Deceased Artist's Account on Artmajeur by YourArt

What happens to an artist's Artmajeur by YourArt account after their death?
At Artmajeur, we understand the importance of an artist's artistic legacy. That’s why, instead of deleting an account, we encourage families to memorialize the artist's account. This allows for the preservation of their works and the continued sharing of their artistic heritage with the public.

Why not just delete the artist's account?
Deleting an account means erasing all the works and contributions that the artist has shared over the years. This could be a significant loss for the artist, their family, and art enthusiasts alike. By memorializing the account, you honor their work and allow their legacy to continue living on, even after their passing.

How does account memorialization work?
When memorializing an artist's account, we transfer the administrative rights to a family member. This allows the family to manage the work online. You can:

• Update account information.
• Mark works as "not available for sale" if you wish.
• Continue selling originals or prints, depending on your preference.

What should I do to memorialize my relative's account?
To memorialize your loved one's account, simply contact us through our customer service, providing the necessary documents, such as a death certificate or any other proof. We will then transfer the administrative rights to a designated family member.

Can I delete works or information from the account if I wish?
Yes, as an administrator, you have the option to edit or delete works, or decide whether you want to continue selling certain pieces or prints.

Will the artist's work still be visible to the public?
Yes, unless you choose to make the account private, the artist’s works will remain accessible to art lovers and collectors worldwide. This is a great way to preserve and celebrate their artistic legacy.

We prefer not to sell the artist's works. Is that possible?
Of course. You can set all works as "not available for sale" in the account settings. This way, the works will remain visible, but no sales can be made.

Can I still sell works or prints after memorialization?
Yes, if you wish to continue selling the original works or prints, you can do so. The memorialized account retains all its commercial functionalities.

What if multiple family members want to manage the account?
If multiple family members wish to administer the account, you can share access among yourselves by managing the login settings together.

How do I start the memorialization process for the account?
To begin the process, contact our team. We will guide you through the necessary steps to transfer the management rights.
