COLLECTION MANAGEMENT

The serious collector is often too busy themselves to be overly concerned with the management of the collection and would prefer to simply enjoy the art. The maintenance of art is critical, but time consuming.  Professional management can preserve the serious collector’s valuable assets.

  • Research, catalogue and record in a specific database every component in the collection
  • Perform annual inspections for condition reports
  • Set up and maintain current artist information files as they pertains to the collection ie: art reviews, current invitations, articles, catalogues, books, etc.
