TEKSCOR
Technical Scientific Condition Report
By combining the Condition Report with scientific analyses, TEKSCOR (Technical Scientific Condition Report) provides added documentary and scientific value to works of art.
TEKSCOR is a technological file designed to bring clarity to collections of paintings, sculptures and works on paper, by bringing together historical, technical and scientific data. It serves as a decision-making tool in a variety of contexts, whether for accurately insuring a work, securing a transaction during a purchase or sale, supporting an inheritance or succession, or preparing a loan under controlled conservation conditions.
Developed in collaboration with Geneva Fine Art Analysis, TEKSCOR relies on the use of portable, non-invasive examination and analysis tools, allowing interventions to be carried out in close proximity to the artworks, in Switzerland and internationally.
The TEKSCOR is designed for:
-
Collectors
-
Insurers
-
Art dealers
-
Auction houses
-
Foundations and artists’ estates
-
Museums
-
Experts, art historians and curators
