David Killen Gallery purchased the contents of the restoration studio, some 200 works of art, that were left behind that could not find owners. David Killen Gallery will be selling the 200 works over the next few years and they range from minor works of art to important pieces. The executors ,along with an archivist, made a catalogue of the abandoned items, and a page corresponding to the work being sold will be included with every Orrin Riley lot sold at this auction house.
