your one-stop solution for you and your collections

Services offered

The tailored services offer a range of specialized resources specifically geared to your individual needs. The aim is to help you enjoy your collection by unloading you of the work needed to handle the important but time-consuming details related to it.

Collections cataloguing

Whether you’re looking for a complete first-time inventory of your collection or an updated review of what you have, I am here to help you.

Should you already have an updated inventory and wish to upload to a collections management system, I can help you find the one that best responds to your needs and input the information for you.

Technical analysis

Technical analysis allows researchers, valuators, authentication procedures, and conservators acquire vital information that is invisible to the naked eye. Image and pigment analyses provide information on the possible dates of materials and techniques used in a piece, which allow for more in-depth knowledge of its creation, authenticity regarding a specific artist, and past conservation interventions.

These details help pinpoint research paths and future conservation strategies.

Conservation & condition reports

Thanks to an extensive network of specialised conservators all over the world I can handle the treatment of all types of pieces. Specialties include, but are not limited to: paintings and sculptures (Old Masters, Modern, Contemporary), metals, watches, and textiles.

Condition reports, without conservation interventions, are also offered.

Translation

It is rare for a collection to have documentation in one single language or have one single origin. With a specific focus on legal and financial documents, art history, archaeology, and visual arts, Renata Kaminker – Fine Art Solutions can help you with your translation needs.

I specialize in the following language pairs, but can help you with any other languages you may need: French to English, French to Spanish, English to Spanish, and Spanish to English.

Trainings & workshops

Trainings and workshops on various aspects of collections management can be provided to groups of various sizes for both public and private institutions and private clients. The trainings are prepared on a case-per-case basis, based on each group’s needs.

Provenance research

Due diligence procedures are an essential part of any transaction, and have become a legal requirement these past few years. Having as much information as possible on the history of a piece, past sales and ownership details, dates in which it has left its country of origin and surfaced on the market, etc. helps current and future owners ensure the legal origin and transaction history of the object.
