Art Conservation Membership for (business) collections

Are you already an Art Conservation member?

Art Conservation has 30 years of expertise in the field of conservation and restoration of various restoration disciplines. Art Conservation works for museums, art dealers, galleries, governments, various heritage institutions and private individuals. We have expertise in paintings, paper, photography, books, indoor and outdoor sculptures, ceramics, stone, modern and contemporary art. We are a multidisciplinary workshop where our knowledge of our more qualified conservators is bundled and shared.

Do you have a collection with special works of art? Would you like to know in which circumstances you can best preserve your artworks? Do some artworks look dirty? Do you want to restore the original colours? Would you like to know the condition of your artworks? Wondering why your painting looks dark? Whether the patina layer on your metal sculpture is original? Would you like to know how best to move the artwork? Do you want to sell your artworks in good condition soon? You will soon no longer have these questions. You can now sign up a membership at Art Conservation for the conservation and management of your collection!

The membership aims to take away your concerns about the management and conservation of your collection by our conservation and restoration specialists. In addition, this can prevent high costs for restoration in the long term. We offer advice and research on climate, storage conditions, light conditions, art handling, installation of artworks, support with transport and loan traffic, integrated risk factor control, condition checks and conservation-restoration.

We offer three different types of memberships. You can choose which membership best suits your collection and wishes, which offers more or fewer options depending on your budget. Each work of art is unique and requires a different approach, so each membership is tailor-made according to your collection. In addition, the longer you are a member, the more benefits you get!

How does it work?

When you take out a membership with us, one of our conservation specialists will come and take an inventory of your collection for a QuickScan. With a QuickScan, an inventory is made of the entire collection, looking at the general condition of your artworks. Each object and location is photographically documented. Subsequently, after the first QuickScan, a condition report is drawn up in which the material condition is further explained. In this, the materials are determined for each object and the visible degradation processes are described. Subsequently, a cleaning proposal is made for each object, taking into account the material, the intention of the artist and the environment of the artwork. The cleaning of the objects will be carried out annually by our specialists at a discount, depending on the type of membership and the wishes for your collection. We also provide advice for conservation-restoration treatments. The membership takes into account a varying composition of the collection. This means that with every new purchase or loan, the objects are included in the inventory list. The condition report can be added to your registration system so that you can fall back on it in the event of problems in the future.
