Services
Conservation and Restoration
We treat canvas paintings for damage caused by the effects of aging and accidents, such as paint loss, flaking, and mould.
Condition Reports for exhibition, travel, insurance, and sales
We provide independent art condition reports for canvas paintings and sculptures: objective assessments of an artwork’s condition. These are an important part of a work’s documentation because they allow collectors and professionals working in the arts to make more informed decisions when considering the purchase of an artwork, before and after shipping a work, when environmental conditions can pose risks, and for insurance purposes.
Display and Storage Solutions
We design display and storage solutions to ensure works are stored in hospitable environments. We also provide training sessions to gallery staff so that they can be equipped with proper maintenance knowledge.
Artist Collaborations
We provide consultation and technical support to artists, especially when they are working with a challenging or uncertain material or structure and are concerned about the longevity of a work.
Our Promise
Art Conservatory was named for its embodiment of two meanings of ‘conservatory’: (1) a room where conservation is performed and (2) like a greenhouse for plants, care is given to sustain the life of something precious.
Discreet
Confidentiality and discretion are integral to our practice. We are trusted to ensure the privacy and security of our clients and their artwork.
Understanding
We believe in connecting person-to-person and person-to-artwork, with the understanding necessary to achieve results that respect the aesthetic appearance of the artwork as well as our client’s wishes.
Lasting
Our approach to treating and caring for an artwork is measured, methodical, and thorough to ensure long-term results relative to its material lifetime.
Expert
We produce museum-grade results, using the latest techniques and materials. As integrity is of utmost importance to us, our authentication methods are impartial and professional.
