Research and Collections Management

Art research – If you own a painting and wish to know more about the artist and the work, we produce research reports placing the painting and artist in historical context and providing as much detail as possible for your edification.

Provenance research is becoming more important in the art market today as auction houses, museums and reputable dealers are increasingly reluctant to sell or accept art that does not have a well-documented history of ownership. Provenance research can be lengthy and difficult, but a full provenance is important. Thorough provenance on an object can add value to your work of fine art.

Producing a catalogue of your fine art collection is something that is becoming increasingly easier with digital images and the proliferation of small, do-it-yourself publishers who produce high-quality publications for affordable prices.

Facilitation of museum contributions and loans for your fine art object or collection - There are many personal and financial reasons why people elect to loan or gift works to museums rather than dispose of them on the market or gift them to heirs. We can assist you in the process of making this decision, approaching museums or institutions on your behalf, assuring that the paperwork is all in order, overseeing the crating, packing and moving of the work and making the process as stress-free as possible.
