Dear Leon,

I would like to briefly call to your attention a question on the 1031 exchange of the Calder.
We need to choose an exchange agent to be the middleman on the exchange. We can either use an art dealer as
exchange agent or a non-art exchange agent such as one of the companies set up to do real estate 1031
exchanges (for example, Chicago Deferred Exchange Company).
The advantage of using an art dealer is that you can reduce or possibly eliminate the sales tax you have to pay
on the art that you buy as part of the exchange, by taking advantage of the trade-in credit available to art
dealers. The disadvantage is that you have to tell the dealer the terms of your deal with Christie's and of the
new art purchased in the exchange. Brad and I discussed this issue and he feels, on balance, that the financial
risk/reward makes it worth using an art dealer as exchange agent.
In order to use an art dealer, you need to choose a dealer in New York and ask them to act as exchange agent.
It could be Pace or a dealer like Bob Mnuchin or David Zwimer. It cannot be a dealer with whom you have
done business in the past two years, so it cannot be Gagosian, Acquavella, Matthew Marks or Sublime.
A dealer is most likely to agree to act as your exchange agent if you call them yourself.
EFTA00857397
We need to have the paperwork in place before the sale on Monday night, so ideally the dealer would be
selected today. Art dealers usually receive a fee for acting as exchange agent. I have seen fees ranging from
$20,000 - $50,000.
Questions:
1. Which art dealer would you like to use as your exchange agent?
2. How much will you be paying the dealer as a fee?
Please let me know once you have spoken with the dealer you select, and I will follow up with the dealer with
all of the details and paperwork to put the exchange in place.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I am in the office at
Best,
Heather
