The Putnam Foundation DBA Timken Museum of Art

“The Foundation has capitalized its works of art since its inception. If purchased, items accessioned into works of art are capitalized at cost and, if donated, they are capitalized at their appraised or fair value on the accession date, the date on which the item is accepted by the Board of Directors (the Board). Gains or losses on the deaccession of works of art are classified in the statements of activities as with donor restrictions or without donor restrictions depending on donor restrictions, if any, placed on the item at the time of accession. Accession of works of art to the collection totaled $80,950 and $-0- during the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Deaccession of works of art from the collection totaled $-0- and $4,500 during the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, with no proceeds received for each year ended resulting in a loss on sale of $-0- and $4,500 for the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The collection totaled $13,960,121 and $13,879,171 at March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.The collection is subject to a policy that requires proceeds from their sales to be used to acquire other items for collections or to support the direct care of collections. Direct care of collections is defined by the Foundation as costs that prolong the life and usefulness of the collection, costs providing benefits that enhance the quality and protection of the collection, and costs that make a physical impact on collection objects, increasing or restoring their cultural or scientific value. Routine and ongoing expenditures are not considered direct care of collections. Costs incurred in connection with the acquisition and conservation of works of art are expensed in the period incurred.An independent appraisal made during 2015, adjusted for accessions and deaccessions at cost, valued the works of art held by the Foundation at $275,283,000. Subsequent to the issuance of the appraisal report, the museum made acquisitions and received donated works of art totaling in the amount of $2,063,199. Management believes that the value at March 31, 2024 has not declined since the 2015 appraisal.”
