Fine Art Custody and Documentation

A Private Register
for Fine Art

Vestarte joins Vesta, the Roman guardian of the hearth, with arte. We keep works of art in museum-quality custody and record every moment of their care.

The Register

What we do

Each work entrusted to Vestarte enters a private register: a continuous, signed record from the day it arrives.

i.

Intake & Condition

Intake and condition reports prepared to museum and auction-house standards.

ii.

Installation & First Use

Professional installation and documented first use: timestamped, recorded on video, and signed by two staff members.

iii.

Custody

Ongoing care in a climate-controlled facility, with logged access and an unbroken chain of custody.

iv.

The Dossier

A bound and digital record of the work's time in our care, delivered to you.

Every arrival, every movement, every signature, kept on the register.

The Vestarte Dossier

A record worthy

A bound volume, accompanied by a digital copy, gathering the complete documentary history of each work in our custody.
