FAQs
> What is the cost of a consultation?
We offer a complimentary introductory consultation to gain an understanding of your collection, priorities, and the challenges or opportunities you wish to address. This initial conversation allows us to thoughtfully assess your needs and determine how our expertise can best serve you.
Each collection is unique, with its own history, complexities, and objectives. We therefore take a highly personalized approach, developing recommendations and service structures tailored to the specific requirements of each client. We welcome the opportunity to connect by phone or Zoom to discuss your goals in confidence.

Our research process may include examining archival records, exhibition histories, ownership documentation, published scholarship, and other relevant sources to help clarify an artwork’s history and identify areas requiring further review. When appropriate, we work alongside legal counsel, historians, institutions, and other specialists to support a thorough and informed approach to restitution matters and ethical collection stewardship
