T.E.D. as part of the larger IAS Fine Art Logistics Group is able to provide you with a comprehensive collections’ management service, meaning that at any given time you will be aware of the location, declared value and condition of your entire artwork collection.
Whether you are a private collector, corporate entity, public museum or private gallery we are able to tailor a collections management solution to suit your specific needs.
Asset Management
Whether your artwork collection is housed at your premises or at one of our museum standard storage facilities, it will be managed by our Art Information Management System (AIMS). Our registrars will catalogue the unique characteristics for each of your artwork pieces such as the name of the artist, title, dimension, accession code, and an image if required. Each artwork will have its own identification label including a barcode, meaning that at any given time the actual location of every piece your artwork collection, is clearly identified. To ensure the accuracy of the inventory management data, we schedule an artwork audit twice a year, to reconcile the AIMS location against the actual location. Comprehensive status reports are available as part of our collection management offering.
Valuation
We are able to obtain a valuation on every artwork of your collection. Having current valuations, enables you to ensure that your asset register and insurance policies are maintained to reflect the current market values.
Rotation of collection
To optimise the enjoyment of each piece of your artwork, whilst delivering a fresh visual effect, we are able to coordinate a scheduled rotation of your collection.
Framing or Reframing
To refresh the look of your artwork, we are able to arrange for the reframing of an existing piece of artwork or the framing a new acquisition. Framing can be in the form of traditional designs or the latest contemporary styling. Our registrars will consult with you to select a framing design to complement your new or existing décor.
Conservation
We enjoy long standing relationships with Australia’s leading art conservation companies and are able to coordinate conservation works to suit your requirements. If conservation is required, it can be scheduled to occur in conjunction with your art rotation program or as a one off requirement.
Our conservation partners are able to conserve your artworks, antiques, artefacts or other objects of cultural or heritage significance.
They will assess the condition of existing artworks, and make recommendations for conservation, repair or maintenance, as well as advising on the ongoing care and management of the collection.
They have the expertise to undertake conservation treatment of your objects, textiles, paintings, artworks, furniture, photographs, sculptures, ethnographic metal and stone artefacts, archaeological material, monuments, memorials or building finishes, either in their conservation studios, or on site. They are also able to clean, repair, mend, consolidate, patch, infill, refinish, and remove stains from artworks, artefacts or antiques.
