TrackArt provides a broad range of risk management consulting services. In all endeavours, highly qualified consultants with extensive specialised experience built up over many years in diverse, yet arts-related, sectors are employed.
Due Diligence
- Advising and sourcing of objects for purchase and investment;
- Advising buyers/sellers on relevant anti-money laundering legislation to ensure compliance with financial regulations;
- Help in securing independent scientific examination of objects for dating, authenticating and the prevention of fraud;
- Insurance and probate valuations – containing images and detailed descriptions, using the internationally recognized standard ‘Object ID’™ as a base to work from. This is especially useful should an art of work become lost, stolen or damaged and subsequent insurance dealings;
- Insurance advice – working with the best insurers in the market, to ensure the most suitable cover for the client’s particular collection.
Collection Acquisition & Disposal
Purchase, sale and/or disposal advice within the art market, private sales or through well-established relationships with museums and galleries (with transaction costs at auction often over 25% of the price of the artwork, TrackArt can help in reducing these additional costs).
Collection Care & Management
- Pre-purchase and collection condition surveys;
- Expert advice on the conservation of objects, with recommendations to appropriate conservators;
- Management of the conservation process;
- Collection condition surveys and the creation, implementation and on-going review of conservation programmes;
- Long-term collection care and advice on monitoring storage and display standards;
- Inventory creation, photography and valuation of objects for investment purposes (valuations are only carried out by recognized authorities who can provide qualified attributions).
Storage, Transportation & Shipping Advice
- Sourcing long and short-term storage solutions in approved secure facilities sourced, providing environmental control for both large collections and precious individual items alike;
- Arrangements made for the professional handling, packaging and shipping of objects;
- Insurance cover arranged whilst in storage and/or in transit.
