A private art collection is the least documented significant asset most families own. Aurelian is the archive that makes the collection defensible — for insurance, for succession, and for the museum request that lands in six months. Built for the curator, advisor, or principal who wants the collection to survive intact into the next generation.
What it does
Artist, title, date, medium, dimensions, edition, current location, condition — captured once and available to every stakeholder with the right permission.
Every prior owner, every auction sale, every gallery transfer. Documented, dated, and defensible when the piece next changes hands or is loaned to a museum.
Baseline valuation with source and date. Subsequent valuations logged against the same record. The trajectory of each work — and the collection as a whole — is visible over time.
Museum loans, gallery exhibitions, publications, editorial features — captured against the work as they happen, not reconstructed years later.
Filter your inventory by location, value band or policy and export a valuation-ready schedule as CSV or PDF for insurers and estate planners.
Who uses this
Single canonical archive across residences, storage and museum loans, kept current for insurance and estate documentation.
Each client's collection sits in its own workspace with scoped access. The advisor keeps private notes and comparables in their own view.
Art records sit alongside other tracked assets with valuation history, insurance coverage notes and succession documentation.
Questions
Access is scoped to the workspace and to the roles you grant. Principals see everything they own; collaborators see what they are assigned. Detailed per-record audit trails are on the roadmap.
Each valuation can carry its own currency and reporting can present a chosen base currency at the current rate. Historical-rate conversion at the date of each valuation is on the roadmap.
Workspaces are private by default and records aren't shared with third parties. Formal pseudonymisation controls for client and work identities are on the roadmap.
