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 and export a full appraised schedule for insurers, tax counsel, or estate planners in one click. No more late-night spreadsheet assembly.
