As part of your membership...
You receive complimentary access to Claims and Emergency Services, PURE Art Consults, and Buying Reports. You can utilize these services at any time:
Claims Adjusting & Emergency Planning
In the unfortunate event of a loss, one of our dedicated art professional will work alongside your claims adjuster to ensure you receive the utmost level of expertise and care. We respond quickly to reduce or prevent damage to your collection, assign the highest level and most skilled vendors to handle repairs and conservation, and determine value if a total loss were to occur. We also work with members in catastrophe prone areas to help them prepare for emergencies or triage and stabilize items during an event.
Consults & Assessment Services
At any time throughout your membership, we can assist by providing advice and risk management recommendations or conducting an assessment of your collection to help identify and manage or remedy vulnerabilities. If you need an inventory, we’ll create one. If you need an appraisal, we’ll organize one. If you’re concerned about cracking on the surface of a painting, fading from exposure to sunlight or have an outdoor sculpture whose pad is failing, we’ll organize a conservator to remedy your issue and provide advice to prevent it from happening again.
Buying Reports
The act of buying a work of art can be fraught with uncertainty. Our Buying Report is intended to reduce that uncertainty by providing you with information on vendor credibility, artist sale records, known condition, provenance, pricing and additional fees that may accompany your purchase— ultimately helping you make a more informed purchasing decision.
Additional Services & Support
For collectors who are ready to take a deeper dive into a project, we offer comprehensive, fee-based art collection management services. These services include:
Loan Coordination
We help members initiate loans to exhibitions, whether domestic or international, negotiate bequests to major institutions, and conduct provenance, condition and authenticity research if you’re considering a new acquisition.
Appraisals
We will determine which pieces would benefit from an appraisal and then organize the on-site appointment as well as negotiate terms and pricing on a member’s behalf.
Database Management
We will create a digital inventory that will help members manage their art collection as well as organize the documentation necessary for insurance, tax, preservation and acquisition purposes.
Family Art Narratives
We will gather together not only the important documents but the stories of your art pieces, the histories of how and why the collection was formed.
