His personal collection was sold in a large sale of 124 paintings at American Art Association, which included a number of important early Renaissance paintings including the Madonna and Child with Saints triptych by a follower of Duccio in the Kress collection (held at the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, acc. 61.2), and a Madonna and Child by Matteo da Siena, sold London, Sotheby's, 5 July 2018, lot 106.
