ADDING VALUE TO YOUR COLLECTION
There are certain key documents that by accompanying any given artwork will add significant value to it.
Request a professional art valuation from an art specialist through cur8.art:
This is a vital document that – should anything happen to the artwork – would be essential for an insurance claim as the value before damage or loss would have been officially recorded by an art expert.
In addition, accurate appraisals carried out by reputable specialists will help you know the true value of your collection and with time, you will be able to track the return on your investments.
Request a condition report on your artworks:
This is an essential document that specifies the overall condition of an artwork and makes particular reference to any repairs/restorations that might have been done and any fragile/damaged areas that have yet to be worked on.
This extremely useful document helps provide accurate representation for the value assigned to a certain work, as the condition of an artwork is essential in determining its value. Also imperative should there be future damage to an artwork in your collection and an insurance claim needs to be submitted.
Maintaining your art collection is essential should you wish to protect your investment – this often means being aware of the condition of a given artwork and when it may be due for a cleaning or restoration. Works on paper are particularly fragile and maintaining their condition through proper framing and protection will ensure that they last as long as possible.
