The Art Newspaper covers some of the steps APT is taking to liquidate some of their holdings in an orderly manner:
The sales process will be “slow and careful”, says APT’s chairman and co-founder Moti Shniberg. “It’s not going to be any kind of fire sale.” The company recently hired four specialists to liaise with potential buyers, and each transaction must be approved by a five-member advisory committee: former Whitney Museum director David Ross, former Mori Art Museum director David Elliott, adviser Mary Hoeveler, former JP Morgan Chase Collection artistic director Manuel González, and Brook Hazelton.
