Managing a collection can be a real challenge.
Cataloguing administration, storage or insurance cover, taxation and governance, transport risks, conservation and loans, acquisition and installation of works are all part of the collecting business.
Whether you are a young enthusiast, an established collector or a company, The Art Keeper offers to assist you with tailored and professional solutions, in complete confidentiality and to the highest standards.
We provide detailed documentation of your works, including dimensions, measurements, state of preservation, photographs, framing information, signatures and other details. All works are professionally photographed and numbered.
We check all the information compiled and research the market value of works over €5,000 that were valued or acquired more than 2 years ago. We also find missing information such as purchase invoices, valuations or exhibition history.
We provide a database in digital or paper format, created with Artlogic, the leader in the field.
This database contains a complete profile for each work including photographs, conservation details, values (insurance and market) as well as digital copies of all documents relating to the work such as invoices, certificates or other provenance documents.
This information is accessible on your PC/Mac or iPad/iPhone in a completely secure environment.
Thanks to the database, we can produce a series of reports in digital or paper format for different purposes: portfolio, insurance, estate planning or inventory.
These services apply equally to works in storage, in transit or installed in your home or office.
We organise and follow up on all movements related to the purchase, sale, loan or removal of a work. All administrative and logistical procedures are handled with the utmost discretion and care to avoid any damage.
We organise the framing or installation of any work in collaboration with a selection of specialists in each field (works on paper, paintings, sculptures, etc.).
In collaboration with the most experienced conservators and restorers, we organise the preparation of condition reports for each movement, the maintenance of your interior and exterior works and the preventive conservation of your collection.
In the event of a loss, we will come to your assistance as soon as possible to limit the damage. As soon as the first analyses are carried out, we also offer to set up a rescue plan in collaboration with an expert in order to avoid or reduce the effects of a disaster.
In collaboration with your broker, we carry out an audit of your contracts in order to obtain the guarantees best suited to your works and your requirements.
We put you in contact with specialists in the field in order to organise the holding or transmission of your works in the best possible way.
Our project management services aim to support you in the realisation of projects related to your collection, such as their exhibition, promotion or transmission.
The implementation of such a project involves multiple and rigorous actions. Throughout this mission, you have a single point of contact who coordinates the various stages of the project until its implementation.
