Structure

Art Wealth

A unique advisory structure

Hardly any other object reflects human creativity as much as art. It is as unique as its owners and their individual situations. So it is hardly surprising that even readily quoted terms such as wholeness still do not represent what art actually deserves.

Against this background, Art Wealth strives for a comprehensive and prudent treatment of art ownership in three interlocking stages. The careful personal expertise of the objet d’art by experienced connoisseurs is followed by the analysis of the overall legal and tax situation by our cooperation partners, coordinated in close dialogue. A highly specialised team consisting of a lawyer and tax advisor with a background in art and a doctorate in art law, all of whom have a proven track record in relevant publications and university activities, guarantee an advisory approach that is unique and truly universal in Germany. The necessary art expertise is provided by specialised and independent art experts and experienced art historians in close cooperation with you and us, in accordance with the diversity of art and in close coordination with your individual legal, fiscal and economic needs.

The appraisers from Art Wealth
ArtWealth constantly cooperates with leading experts, art experts and art historians. We attach great importance to the independence, discretion and highest professionalism of our cooperation partners. This is the only way to achieve an objective valuation of your collection and asset structure. The appraisal and advisory work of our appraisers includes the examination of authenticity, attribution and spatial classification as well as the resulting valuation, taking into account condition and provenance. In addition to the preparation of inventories and the recording of entire collections, they prepare detailed individual appraisals on request, in which the rarity and significance of an object within an era, a group of works or an oeuvre are taken into account. Your written valuations are based solely on a personal inspection. Digital photographs supplement our appraisals for better identification. The appraised values determined from this are based on current art market prices. A uniform valuation approach in the various art fields results in comparable appraised values within the framework of the replacement value, the market value and the fair market value. This enables an objective basis for the insurance of the art objects or for a division of the estate within the framework of the drawing up of a will or the division of an inheritance. This also applies to the determination of value for foundations, donations and contracts under private law. Independence, discretion and objectivity form the long-standing basis of trust with our clients. They appreciate the remuneration of their work according to the time spent, irrespective of the result of the valuation.
