The Darger Estate

The Darger Estate refers to the wealth and assets associated with Henry Darger, a reclusive American writer and artist best known for his extensive, illustrated fictional narratives. While Darger did not have a formal estate or significant public assets during his lifetime, his posthumous recognition and the value of his artwork and manuscripts have grown substantially. Collectors, museums, and scholars now consider his work invaluable, leading to the estate or rights being managed and valued, often involving intellectual property rights, art sales, and cultural preservation efforts.
