Offering the utmost discretion and professionalism, we handle every aspect of managing, cataloguing and accessing important artworks with the highest degree of care. With offices and representatives in the United States, Europe and Asia we are well positioned to better assist any of our clients’ appropriate needs. We have expertise available in significant art related issues, such as legal, financial, taxation, donations, authentication, export licensing and estate planning. Our services are tailor-made for each individual’s needs; every collection is a unique collection; every artwork is a unique artwork.

Collection management

Our collection management services include the inventory and documentation of artworks which is a vital step in maintaining and preserving a collection. A comprehensive inventory, along with detailed information regarding the history of the artwork, is an invaluable asset in the event of damage or theft, and is necessary if the work is sold or donated in the future. It is also essential for insurance, financing, exhibition and publication purposes.

Private Dealing

We assure the strictest level of confidentiality throughout the entire transactional process. Ars Docet and our clients are always looking for artworks by Masters from renaissance to contemporary periods. (Please check our Artists section for a partial list of requests/offers.) Due the nature of the artworks and in order to prevent the dissemination of images (over exposure) throughout the internet by semi-professionals or in the worst case, by amateurs, we do not send any image of the available artworks via email or regular mail. Neither do we publish any relevant artwork on our internet sites. Ars Docet employs a secure system which can present an artwork in a totally controlled and confidential manner to prescreened parties. This system provides the control and confidentiality which transactions in fine artwork deserve. Any transaction can be supported by an appropriate escrow service.
