What to expect in an inventory?
An inventory will contain photographs, dimensions, technique, and the execution date of several artworks. It is a process that collects and registers all the visible information in a piece. Very often, we have collections in which the name of the artist is unknown, or the pieces are not visibly identified, the signature is illegible, or it is impossible to recognize it. The inventory does not include identifying these types of works. The process of identification corresponds to the Appraisal Report, which involves researching the piece in depth.
How can you prepare for an in-situ inventory?
Since we have amassed such a vast number of serious collectors in our network, it’s likely we have a collector that may be interested in your piece of artwork. We can assist you with the sale of the pieces.
INVENTORY CHECKLIST

Space for photography -
Make sure that the pieces are accessible, we are not able to move furniture or pieces that require more than two persons.

PIECES
- Documents for each piece, if available (Invoices, certificates of authenticity, correspondence with the artist or the seller, exhibition or auction catalogues, newspaper clips).
Consider at least 30 minutes after the data collection finishes to talk to our experts; we might have some questions about a piece.
When and how will you receive the inventory report?
You will receive the report by mail or hand delivered. The time it will take will depend on the number of pieces to be processed. If it is up to five, it will take two days. If the report includes more than that, we will inform you at the time the data collection process concludes.
