Collection Management

In 2003  I began working with a variety of individuals and organizations including private collectors, foundations, non-profit organizations, executors and families responsible for the estate of an artist.  Each client  found themselves at a crossroad where they need help managing a fine art collection, and in some cases finding a new home for some or all of the objects.  Some of these collections are small in quantity, while others are quite extensive. This led to developing a menu of solutions that I provide:

• Initial consultation and recommendations based on client needs.
• Conducting a physical inventory of each object.
• Working with a photographer to document each item in the collection.
• Creating a computerized database that a complete record of each object.
• Preparing recommendations for proper storage of objects not on display.
• Assessing the condition of objects and making recommendations for conservation treatment.
• Developing a plan for the distribution of objects.
• Identifying galleries or auction houses for the sale of objects.
