We are members of The Art Due Diligence Group (ADDG), a joined up expert due diligence service for clients wanting to know the steps that should be undertaken prior to a high value art sale taking place or before any artwork is taken to market.

This is a user-friendly and helpful system for examining artworks and obtaining the necessary professional opinions that should be sought when dealing with a high value artwork or a collection of artworks. Comprised of a specially selected team of experts with years of experience in the art market, the ADDG realised the need to combine its collective expertise because of the situations encountered in today’s art market.   As the price of art has risen sharply, regulation has become tighter, the process has become complex, new markets have emerged, a new breed of collector has entered the market and the stakes are now high meaning that there is much to lose through lack of compliance, knowledge and process.

FORENSIC ANALYSIS is offered as part of this procedure. Scientific examination informs conservation and condition reporting and provide specialist documentation of the object. Imaging and materials analysis coupled with technical art history expertise enables authenticity and attribution of paintings to add value and verify authorship.

The various imaging services are popular with UHNW art collectors who like to have ultra high resolution images as documentary evidence of their art portfolios and to reveal any under-drawing (pentimenti) in the painting. Rather like having a property survey, buyers can operate in the market with confidence because they have a sound and accurate appraisal of the asset. These findings are critical to facilitating a sale or investment and clients benefit the most before they invest – to establish good practice and to mitigate risk and uncertainty in the market.
