Technical Examinations and Condition Reports:

Damage can occur through faulty storage, during transport, while on loan or in everyday life. We guarantee impartial examination of single artworks or entire collections and carry out estimates of value loss for insurances. We also offer technical condition reports for works of art before and after transport.

Authentication:

When doubts arise about the status of a work, we advise examination involving technical as well as art historical aspects. Thermoluminescence datingis being done in collaboration with the Oxford Authentication Laboratory or the Kotalla Laboratory.
