Scope of our due diligence services
Researching the provenance of a work of art
The history of a work of art is crucial to its value and legality. We conduct a detailed provenance investigation, analyzing ownership documentation, exhibition history and previous transactions related to a given work. We work with archives, experts and museum institutions to confirm authenticity and exclude the risk of acquiring an object with a questionable legal status.
Artist verification
Confirming the identity and achievements of an artist is a key element of the due diligence process. We thoroughly check education, artistic achievements, participation in exhibitions and auctions, as well as reputation in the art community. This allows collectors to be sure that they are investing in the work of a recognized artist and not in forgery or speculative transactions.
Collector or seller verification
It is not only the works of art that require verification – it is equally important to check the other party to the transaction. We conduct an in-depth analysis of the identity, reputation and financial capacity of potential buyers and sellers. We ensure that transactions comply with international regulations on money laundering and art trade.
