Documentation Services
Reanda Art Conservation can provide the documentation needed for a variety of situations
We provide artwork documentation services to suit different needs, whether for a registrar coordinating a loan or a private owner looking to sell or make a purchase.
Typical documentation includes:
Condition Reports
Treatment Reports
Digital Photography
Technical Imaging
Condition reports may be tailored to the needs of a client, whether it’s an informal confirmation that a painting is in good condition, official loan paperwork, or documentation of damage for an insurance claim.
These write-ups generally come with considerations of what may happen to the condition of the artwork over time, preventative knowledge, bigger issues, and risks before shipping. All written proposals come with a cost estimate with treatment options.
RAC has a professional photographer on staff and we have the capability to perform ultraviolet reflectance and infrared photography. Ultraviolet light can reveal the presence of restoration work on the surface of a painting and information about the pigments and varnish layers. Infrared photography may reveal an artist’s underdrawing and can be used to assess damages.
