Institutions

A collection is held
for a reason.

For families, trusts, companies and public bodies that hold art. Send the house the brief.

Each of these is a different problem and the house treats them differently. It begins by understanding what the holding or the space is for, and writes down what it finds.

Everything is prepared in writing, to a standard that an insurer, an auditor or a committee can rely on.

  • Family offices and trusts: a catalogue and one register of what is held
  • Corporate and hospitality: works for a space, documented for the asset register
  • Museums and public bodies: acquisition support, provenance and loan documentation
  • Banks and wealth managers: independent written valuations for a committee

Questions we are asked

AB / FAQ

Can the house catalogue and value a collection held by a family office?

Yes. The house catalogues what exists, values it for insurance and succession, and puts the whole holding on one register. Write with the brief and it will say plainly what it can do.

Can valuations be put before an insurer or an audit committee?

Valuations are written, with the comparable public results set beside the figure, so that an adviser can put them in front of a committee. Documentation is prepared to suit a company asset register and its insurers.

Does the house work with museums and public institutions?

Yes, on acquisition support, provenance research, condition reporting and loan documentation, prepared to the standard a public collection is obliged to meet.
