"Under the bill, artists could donate their work during 
their lifetimes at full market value provided that it is 
properly appraised and handed over at least 18 months 
after it is created."

That appraisal clause is a bummer.  :(  Don't know how 
much it costs for an appraisal, but likely a good bit more 
than the value of most articles donated.
