SERVICES

 

Our network of experts offers solutions to every issue when it comes to art and antiques of any period and provenance, ranging from archaeological material to contemporary art: paintings, furniture, jewelry, sculpture, textiles, silver, drawings, photographs, video art, etc.

 

STRATEGY AND MANAGEMENT

We always deliver solutions. From a single artwork to all paintings in a company office, or an estate containing objects you know nothing about.

  • The value of an object, both in economic as well as historic and artistic terms, can vary depending on context. We help you decide what and when to buy to develop your collection.

  • We provide advice so that extraordinary pieces can reach any collector who may be looking for them.

  • If well looked-after, an artwork passes from one generation to the next and lives on. It bears witness to the age in which it was made, and also of the chain of people who treasured it. A big responsibility? We help you with solutions to store, transport and care appropriately for artworks of any kind, adapting to your circumstances and budget.

  • Everyone likes to put out our best appearance. So do your artworks. Professional conservators in our network can advise you on cleaning or any other type of intervention.

  • The first step when dealing with artworks and other objects, especially if there are many of them, is to draw up an inventory. We create reference registers before tackling an in-depth study.

  • We coordinate and handle all the steps in order to loan artworks for temporary exhibitions.

 

RESEARCH AND APPRAISALS

Studying an artwork is a complex task that becomes experience after years of work and research. YBX Studio finds the information you need.

  • We study attributions and, if necessary, we obtain authorised certificates. We analise the state of conservation, provenance, and other aspects which, together, have an impact on the value of an artwork.

  • We make appraisals and valuations needed for estates, divorce cases, insurance, payments en lieu, deposits, sales, etc.

 

COMMUNICATION

Sometimes, making a collection known is top priority. We help you put across information as needed.

  • Important yet unknown pieces need to be made more visible. We get them featured in specialised publications, exhibitions, catalogues, etc.

  • A strong presence online and on social media is a must in today’s world. We develop communication strategies for social media, and tackle image selections as well as copywriting.
