Collection Management

Cataloguing

Documenting each work is an integral part of collection management. Through detailed cataloguing and photographing artworks, we maintain inventory records, tracking loans and locations.  

Art Loans

Often artworks are kept in vaults and are unseen for indefinite periods of time – why not exhibit those works in a museum and thereby add to their market value?

We connect collectors to museums for exhibition loans. Our unique expertise and vast network allows us to help collectors place their works within institutions. We also work with platforms used by museums to identify loan opportunities.

Insurance

AIB arranges the most suitable and cost effective insurance policy. Multiple underwriters are considered to ensure the most competitive rate is achieved.

Logistics

AIB manages art transport, import and export licenses, import duties and taxes. Fine art storage may also be organized and advice on storage options provided.

Restoration, Framing & Installation

We offer specialized restoration and framing options, and installation services, ensuring the proper maintenance of artworks. 

VALUATIONS

AIB Art Advisory offers current market valuations, as well as valuations for insurance purposes. It is vital to have up-to-date valuations to ensure your artworks are fully covered in the event of a claim.

ART COLLATERALIZATION

Artworks can be used as collateral. This type of loan is attractive to private individuals and companies who wish to unlock the capital held in their art collections.
