Why Document Your Art And Prints Portfolio?
High-value physical assets carry unique documentation and claim risks. Use our documentation checklist to establish verified provenance, and organize complete insurance documentation across your private collectibles portfolio.
Identification
Catalogue Raisonne References, Edition Numbers and Medium Specifications
Document the artist, title, year of creation, specific medium, dimensions, edition number (such as 12/50 or AP), and official Catalogue Raisonne reference numbers to establish the definitive identity of the artwork.
Condition State
Paper Integrity, Pigment Stability and Framing Standards
Assess physical state including foxing, acid burn from non-archival backing, UV fading, cockling, tears, and restoration history. Note if framed using museum-grade UV glass and acid-free mats.
Provenance
Gallery Invoices, Exhibition History and Certificates of Authenticity
Track the chain of custody through original gallery invoices, auction receipts, exhibition labels on the backing board, and signed Certificates of Authenticity (COA) from authorized estates or foundations.
Valuation Data
Hammer Price Comps, Appraisal Schedules and Retail Replacement Values

- How often should I refresh valuation baselines for Art and Prints?
- Refresh valuation baselines every three to five years, or annually for highly active artists. Use verified auction hammer prices and professional appraisals to adjust your coverage and prevent under-insurance.
