Private treaty sales are often favorable for the seller.

Buyers are often willing to pay more if the transaction is confidential and nobody knows how much they paid. Private collectors are not the only buyers who prefer confidentiality.

Museums, likewise, generally prefer not to disclose how much they paid. They don’t want to appear rich or as if they had too much money.

Receiving donations is important to museums and if they look like they have too much already, their patrons will be less generous. They also don’t want everyone to expect them to pay top dollar or to overpay.
