It is more important now than ever to have your art collection in order. Collectors and art advisors are flocking to online art collection management tools as they try to control what they can control.
Elysian Koglmeier has seen the best and the worst of collection management. Along with basic collection management best practices, she’ll share cautionary tales. She’ll help you avoid risks like theft, conflicts like infighting, and the sad story of your collecting legacy landing in a garage sale.
This webinar will give you the tools and information needed to protect and preserve your art collection.
Participants will learn:
- How to digitize your collection

Hi and thanks for this! I am not a collector, per se, but I have about 5 pieces that hold emotional value for me and I see collecting as a life-long journey… so I will eventually make it to the status of a “collector” 😉 So far, my pieces are all by emerging artists, two of which are friends and one is my uncle. Do you recommend I start considering a collection management plan? Or wait until I build more value? Thanks again!
