Collection Management

We are committed to high standards in collection management and will advise and support you in all matters related to the administration, management and inventory of your art collection.

What to expect from us

As an independent partner, we offer assistance and advise in the management of your art collection, including documentation, valuation, conservation, research, financing and all art related transactions.

Our goal is to maintain your art collection and to minimise risks. For this reason, all relevant information and legal facts are recorded with conservation considerations and the proper handling of your collection playing an important role. Our professional art management thus becomes part of your overall asset and estate planning.
