Services to help you manage and protect your collection
In addition to providing PURE members with a complimentary collection consultation, the PURE Art Services team also offers specialized fee-based collection management and advisory services for members, private clients and corporate collections. These services are offered to PURE members at a preferred rate.
Appraisal Coordination
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.

Inventory & Database Creation
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.

Conservation & Framing Coordination
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.
