After a work of art is installed, the collector's relationship with it is not only visual. Ideally an ongoing system of care is in place to protect the condition of the object and the value of the investment. PSART works with a network of professional painting and object conservators highly trained in the most recent developments for treating and protecting works of art.
When more than a few art works are collected, a collections management computer software program is advisable. The value of a work of art is based on its condition and its history. A collections management database organizes all information about a work of art including purchase details, the artist's biography, provenance, exhibition and bibliographic information. A database can provide reports documenting values for insurance or estate purposes and can be used for tracking the locations of objects. In the event of a catastrophic event like a fire or flood, it is crucial to have these details compiled in order to successfully file an insurance claim. PSART can provide museum-trained staff to inventory both small and large collections and to assist with the long-term goals of collections management.
