...

Over recent years restitution has come more into the public domain, with a growing number of publicised restitution cases involving Impressionist & Modern Art worth many millions. There has also been a rise in businesses trying to capitalise on the Restitution Market employing varying standards of practices and ethics. Heirs are placed in a difficult position, unsure how to check the quality of the 'evidence' relevant to their potential case.

Researchers & Catalogue Raisonne Producers

...

In an unregulated art market; often the quality and the format of data presented by researchers is legally 'unsafe' (lacking reliability) due to a lack of clearly verifiable sources, weak contextualisation and inconsistent reporting standards.

Private, Corporate & Institutional Art Collections

The art market is notorious for being riddled with strong opinions, politics and conflicts of interest. Most documentation that supports an artwork's authentication or restitution position has been constructed over time to deliberately create an opinion, often to encourage the sale of the artwork. As such, any 'authoritative documentation' is at risk of being (and often is) deeply flawed and should undergo impartial testing, verification and contextualisation.

Why do Private, Corporate & Institutional Art Collections need our services?

With Art Collections being made from direct acquisitions, inheritance, gifts, bequests and permanent loans artworks should go through stringent due diligence protocols prior to being admitted to any collection.

These checks should include testing, verifying and securing the data related to the artwork, this includes imaging, provenance, exhibition, literature, public sales, condition report and any materials analysis data provided on the artwork.

Our contextualised historical data sets are not accessible to outside researchers so many types of thorough testing and verification are not possible to conduct by an art collection's in-house staff. The data is only available via our secured products that utilise our collated datasets these include The Looted Art Claims Project Database and many significant art dealer communication records and stock books.

The way our due diligence checks are carried out are designed not just to unify critical data securely but also to detect and prevent fraud.

Depth of Services

The depth of services are tailored to suit a specific Collection's needs; we can produce rapid assessments or in-depth reports depending on the reasoning of why, for what purpose, how and how much time an artwork has to be investigated.

Our Looted Art Claims Project generates Restitution Risk Profile Certifications. These are designed to offer the most effective way for Collections to protect their risk exposure to European Impressionist & Modern artworks within their collections or being considered for their collections. It is also the most cost and time effective way to develop a Research Strategy for your collection, isolating the highest risk categorised art for priority assessment.

The depth of services for in-depth reports can include:

Due diligence on an artwork's known / presented documentation

Due diligence on the lender or seller of the artwork

Project Management of research and reporting for a collective group of artworks.

Tailored Research Reporting on individual artworks to meet clear aims and objects of the Collection.

Beneficial Results

Data testing and contextualised reporting removes the art market politics of persuasion and has the collections risk protection as its central motivation.

Our firm provides vital, discreet and highly cost effective due diligence to Art Collections. This means collection management costs associated with internal research conducted on significant European Impressionist and Modern Artworks with unverified data can be significantly reduced.

Time and resource optimisation; Collections can be rapidly assessed to pin point artworks that carry greater risk that need to be managed.

Due diligence standards are dramatically enhanced with more rigorous data testing parameters and reporting formulas employed across all our products.

Reputation and risk exposure protection - research reports or certification can be generated for internal decision making before externally owned artworks are gifted to, placed on permanent loan or exhibited with a publicly visible collection.

Improved premiums for specialist art insurance are possible to negotiate more favourably if your Collections supporting documentation is of a high standard and due diligence includes the Restitution Risk Profile Certification.

Auction Houses

The art market is notorious for being riddled with strong opinions, politics and conflicts of interest. Most documentation that supports an artwork's authentication or restitution position has been constructed over time to deliberately create an opinion, often to encourage the sale of the artwork. As such, any 'authoritative documentation' is at risk of being (and often is) deeply flawed and should undergo impartial testing, verification and contextualisation. Despite Auction Houses being a sales agent without the responsibility for due diligence contractually, the art market has come to expect a certain level of due diligence and auction houses are viewed as a 'safe' public forum in which to transact art.

Why do Auction Houses need our services?

With artworks being sourced for private or auction sale from a wide group of International Collections that have held artworks for variant lengths of time; artworks should go through stringent due diligence protocols prior to being admitted to any auction house for private sale or auction.

The data is only available via our secured products that utilise our collated datasets these include The Looted Art Claims Project Database and many significant art dealer communication records and stock books.

Art Lawyers

The art market is notorious for being riddled with strong opinions, politics and conflicts of interest. Most documentation that supports an artwork's authentication or restitution position has been constructed over time to deliberately create an opinion, often to encourage the sale of the artwork. As such, any 'authoritative documentation' is at risk of being (and often is) deeply flawed and should undergo impartial testing, verification and contextualisation. Art lawyers need access to impartial research data collated to allow them to see the historical documentary perspective relevant to their needs.

Why Do Art Lawyers Need Our Services?

Art lawyers are always in need of factually provable and verifiable documentation to present as evidence in cases or to give them vital context that influences a case strategy.

Many lawyers are unaware of the level of documentation available, the quality of reporting and what a systematic contextual analysis of the facts can uncover on a particular artwork.

Legal references are available on request.

Lawyers do not have to be concerned with patchy research that is not contextually sound or not part of a considered structured research strategy.

Research proposed is always structured with clear deliverables, time frame and capped fees.

Legal practitioners can focus on the legal grounds for a potential case, whilst the factual building blocks we provide are built from an in-depth understanding of acute areas of the historical art market.

Heirs of Looted Art Claimants

The art market is notorious for being riddled with strong opinions, politics and conflicts of interest. Most documentation that supports an artwork's authentication or restitution position has been constructed over time to deliberately create an opinion, often to encourage the sale of the artwork. As such, any 'authoritative documentation' is at risk of being (and often is) deeply flawed and should undergo impartial testing, verification and contextualisation.

Why do Heirs of Looted Art Claimants need our services?

Over recent years restitution has come more into the public domain, with a growing number of publicised restitution cases involving European Impressionist & Modern Art worth many millions. There has also been a rise in businesses trying to capitalise on the Restitution Market employing varying standards of practices and ethics. Heirs are placed in a difficult position, unsure how to check the quality of the 'evidence' relevant to their potential case.

Restitution researchers typically work on a per artwork basis or a claimant family's collection and attempt to assist heirs to 'see' what they are trying to claim. However; the restitution related archive resources available to them are scattered between many locations that often lack funding to effectively manage their records for end user engagement. Online resources are fragmentary, data inconsistently 'tested,' source materials patchily recorded. Often the format of data presented by researchers is legally 'unsafe' (are unreliable) due to a lack of verifiable sources and poor reporting standards. .

The contextualised study of historical materials that form the basis for potential restitution claims have for the first time been brought together and have been dramatically improved by The Looted Art Claims Project. This project enables heirs to verify information about an individual or a collective group of artworks; revealing the quality of the evidence data, its circumstances and the context of the information. This makes it possible for the claimants to make informed decisions about whether to pursue a potential restitution claim.

The way our due diligence checks are carried out are designed not just to unify critical restitution related data securely but also to detect and prevent fraud.

Depth of Services

Our services to the heirs of Claimants are tailored to particular potential restitution cases needs and provide a thorough perspective on the artwork in question and its circumstances from the past to the present day.

Additional Research Report packages can include: imaging, provenance data recovery; including proof of ownership at different points in time, forensic analysis, price analysis, condition reporting, art dealer assessment, private investigation and due diligence related services. We have been tasked to conduct feasibility studies that greatly impact how a case can be put together, we have also reviewed complex cases that have encountered issues with the quality of past evidence.

Our first priority is to provide a broad perspective of the facts that could affect the outcome of a case. This process also shows the likely evidence lead positions and arguments that the defence / prosecution could bring to a case.

We are then able to see how the factual information can reveal a potential outcome, working with the the heirs legal practitioner, this is often a complex and highly collaborative process.

Beneficial Results

By using our knowledge base and structured factually driven approach; cases no longer become bogged down by questionable 'opinions' from multiple 'experts', who are often effected by conflicts of interest. Heirs do not have to be concerned with patchy research that is not contextually sound or not part of a considered structured research strategy.

The research proposed is always structured with clear deliverables, time frame and capped fees.

The factual building blocks we provide to a potential case are built from an in-depth understanding of acute areas of the historical art market. In combination with the heirs legal representative, the perspective that is generated is solid. This enables the heirs to have a full account about the risks of progressing or developing a case.

The factual data gathered strengthens objectivity and assists in the selection of the most appropriate legal precedent, greatly increasing the chances of successful case outcomes.

Researchers & Catalogue Raisonné Producers

The art market is notorious for being riddled with strong opinions, politics and conflicts of interest. Most documentation that supports an artwork's authentication or restitution position has been constructed over time to deliberately create an opinion, often to encourage the sale of the artwork. As such, any 'authoritative documentation' is at risk of being (and often is) deeply flawed and should undergo impartial testing, verification and contextualisation.

Why do Catalogue Raisonné Producers need our services?

Researchers typically working on a per artwork basis attempt to assist collectors to 'see' what they are trying to manage, buy or sell. With Catalogue Raisonné's there is an attempt to 'comprehensively', annotate and list all the known works of an artist either in a particular medium or all media. The depth of research, testing, verification, contextualisation and data security methodologies employed by researchers are inconsistent, often opaque and therefore; unreliable. This is further frustrated by archive resources available to them which are scattered between many locations that often lack funding to effectively manage their records for end user engagement. Online resources are fragmentary, data inconsistently 'tested,' source materials patchily recorded. This leads to researchers engaging clients in 'how long is a piece of string' research costs which is highly unpopular.

In an unregulated art market; often the quality and the format of data presented by researchers is legally 'unsafe' (unreliable) due to a lack of clearly verifiable sources, weak contextualisation and inconsistent reporting standards.

In the majority of cases; researchers are very naïve when it comes to trusting published source materials. They may check that the published source materials exist, but they do not question the rationality of the source materials themselves. Often research is carried out without the verso of the artworks being 'read' or the artworks being physically seen as part of their research. In combination; this does not improve the quality or viability of an artwork's supporting documentation, instead it just contributes to the Art Market myth-making.

Researchers should employ strict protocols when checking an artwork and these checks should include testing, verifying and securing the data related to the artwork, this includes imaging, provenance, exhibition, literature, public sales, condition report and any materials analysis data provided on the artwork.

The way our due diligence checks are carried out are designed not just to verify and unify critical data securely but also to detect and prevent fraud.

Depth of Services

The depth of services are tailored to suit specific art researchers needs; we can produce rapid assessments or in-depth reports depending on the reasoning of why, for what purpose, how and how much time an artwork has to be investigated.

We provide the opportunity to update past catalogue Raisonné's with the research data that has been contextualised and verified within our projects. We can also project manage data collection and data security that is of significant importance to Artist Estates and Institutions.

We can offer to fund, produce or reproduce updated areas of Catalogue Raisonné's by partnering with Artist Estates, promoting the authority and expertise of the authentication bodies that protect the legacy of Artists well into the future.

Our Looted Art Claims Project generates Restitution Risk Profile Certifications. These are designed to offer the most effective, cost and time efficient way for art researchers to understand the whereabouts of European Impressionist & Modern artwork's between 1933-45. This immediately brings a higher level of due diligence to assessing provenance, isolating the highest risk categorised Art for research prioritisation.

The depth of services for in-depth reports can include:

Due diligence on an artwork's known / presented documentation

Project Management of research and reporting for a collective group of artworks.

Tailored Research Reporting on individual artworks to meet clear aims and objects of the art researcher.

Researchers that use well thought our research aims and objectives with verifiable and contextualised historical data generate truly valuable and enriched research output into the Arts and Cultural sector; whether it is an online database, curated exhibition or printed publication.

Our firm provides vital, discreet and highly cost effective research reporting. This means costs associated with research conducted on significant European Impressionist and Modern Artworks with unverified data can be significantly reduced.
