As markets shift, it's important to maintain accurate values for your collection. We can help you determine which pieces will benefit from an updated appraisal and coordinate with vetted experts to provide valuations for insurance and estate planning purposes, from negotiating costs and overseeing visits to managing timelines on your behalf. 

We can create a digital inventory of your collection, complete with object details, images, documentation, condition reports and values. We will upload it to a user-friendly and secure cloud-based collection management system and create reports to easily track your collection over time.

Whether growing or refining your collection, we will guide you through the acquisition process or develop a strategic plan for deaccessioning. We leverage our deep relationships with trusted galleries, auction houses and dealers to ensure every transaction is well researched and aligned with your goals. Commission fees for advisory services may apply.

We can create custom plans to help you prepare and respond to unforeseen events, including fire, flood and natural disasters. Our plans prioritize human safety and include steps for prevention as well as a priority list of artworks or collectibles, emergency contacts and instructions for handlers and conservators if valuables need to be moved or stabilized.

Fluctuating temperature, humidity and light levels can negatively impact artwork condition over time. We can help prevent this by monitoring the conditions in your home, ensuring proper framing and enlisting trusted conservation partners to execute preventative care to maintain the quality of your investment.

From storage to domestic and international shipping logistics and installation, we can develop a plan and take care of every detail. As registrars, we complete condition reports and manage communication and logistics with our expert partners to ensure your collectibles remain safe, wherever they are in the world.

When provenance of a work is unknown or questioned, we will review existing documentation, signatures and markings, conduct archival research, and manage submission to the artist’s respected authority for verification to help support its value long term. 

We can help you, as well as your legal and financial advisors, plan for the future of your collection. We will research the benefits of each option—whether its inheritance, donation, bequest or sale—help you determine which option best meets your needs and vision for the legacy of your collection, and leverage our relationships with museums, auction houses, and galleries to implement a plan.

When you loan your artwork to a museum, we ensure it remains safe throughout its journey. We will handle all aspects of the loan with the borrowing institution, including reviewing agreements, condition reporting, packing and transit, insurance, security and exhibition plans.

We can create museum-like catalogues that memorialize the colorful stories of your collection through archival research and conversations with you, including historical and personal narratives. The finished product includes object details, photographs and exhibition history for your most cherished pieces.

Whether your collection is located at home, in storage or at the office, we will provide a comprehensive review and produce a report with actionable recommendations to help you better protect and enjoy your collection. We assess both physical and environmental risks, including climate, condition, and security as well as how the inventory and values are maintained. We offer museum-level collection management advice that will help you maintain asset values and care for your collection long-term.
