MANAGE

COLLECTION MANAGEMENT

Our full-service management program offers a comprehensive overview of your artworks and allows you to maintain your collection with ease. We meticulously document all details of each object and catalogue artworks using secured tracking software. Once catalogued, we analyze the collection in its entirety and create a strategy for retention or de-accession. To ensure the preservation of your collection, our inventory services include oversight of conservation methods and ongoing maintenance supervision. Modern Art Services (MAS) organizes your art by distinguishing each piece while creating a harmonious flow and telling the story of a collection in its entirety. Our services are available for any size project and can also include curation and management services for rotating art exhibitions, production and publication of bespoke catalogs, creation of exhibition texts and labels, and development of guided tours, brochures, and maps for targeted audiences or the general public.

 

ART HANDLING

Whether you would like to frame a single artwork, install a monumental sculpture, or transport an entire collection, MAS will manage the job safely and efficiently. We are experts in frame design, and we advise on the best positioning, lighting, and placement for your art. Our team of highly skilled and creative individuals have years of experience working with a wide variety of materials, using personalized methods that preserve the high-value objects in your collection and ensure they are handled with the utmost care when being shipped or installed.

 
I highly recommend Lauren for any work related to procuring, evaluating, and implementing art projects. She has a knack for blending creativity with the needs of her clients, understanding a budget and maximizing its impact, and is very knowledgeable on all forms of art. For our company, she has identified art pieces, mural creators, and sculptures, and utilized a variety of creative implementations which have positively impacted our shopping environments throughout our portfolio.
