Why have
Art Collections Valued
With the value of Fine
Arts reaching ever higher levels, an up to date professional valuation of your
personal or corporate art collection is no longer a luxury but a necessity.
Art values fluctuate regularly pending on market trends, results and important
events in the artist career. Works
can increase sharply in value pending on, inclusion in important private and
public exhibitions, collections, important publications and favourable sale
values for similar works. Increases in value can also be expected If the
artist ceases to produce art works by choice, sickness or death, this limits
the availability of his works in the market and in most cases can add a lot of
value to a good or major work.
A
written valuation provides you with an indisputable and independent record of
your art works and their current values. For insurance purposes we recommend
you reassess your art works regularly or within every three years. A
responsible valuer should be able to recognize any increases on your art works
and inform you if and when you should update your valuation. If you are under
insured a current valuation will insure you receive the right payout to
compensate or replace the art work and if you are over insured you are
unnecessarily paying higher premiums.
Caring
for your Art Collection
Art
works require no special care if they are hung in a clean environment. However
you should avoid hanging them near any cooking area where grease and smoke
could harm the artwork . Direct sunlight should also be avoided.
All artworks especially those on paper can be adversely affected by
humidity. Never hang or store a painting in a room or basement effected
by moisture, or on the inside of a single skinned external wall as moisture
could penetrate the walls thus reaching and potentially harming the artwork.
Where works are displayed under glass insure that the glass is not in
contact with the surface of the artwork, A good framer should pack the edges
to allow at least 3mm distance away from the glass. For stored
works make sure you store in a dry area, insure that there is no variation in
temperatures, Store at 21 degree Celsius + or – 1 degree Humidity 55% + or
– 5%, When wrapping the works
allow a window at the back for ventilation, Regularly check on the stored
works to insure that no moisture is getting inside the wrapping.
