Cataloging consists of organizing and systematizing all the information and documentation relating to the works in an art collection. This is essential for any collector, as such knowledge is fundamental for understanding and preserving the cultural and financial value of artworks.
The cataloging process not only organizes a collection but can also recover technical details, provenance, certificates, and other documents that collectors often do not have on their works. It is not uncommon for us to work with collections where this information has been lost for the most varied of reasons. The systematizing element of cataloging also guarantees that nothing is lost in the future, as well as facilitating access to the information that will be made available to the collector. Besides the usual organization of information, we also carry out physical organization of collections. This includes other safeguarding services, such as mediating with suppliers to install storage racks and drawers. Cataloging organization is also fundamental for managing and controlling a collection, whether simply to measure the size of the assets, to ensure their conservation and any necessary restorations, or even for transporting the collection. To this end, Kura also offers collection management, a stage coming after cataloging in which we mediate with specialized professionals - for assembly, photographic records, cleaning, conservation, and restoration - and with outside entities - such as institutions, cultural spaces, auction houses, and other private collections - thus facilitating possible loans and commercial transactions. In another way of giving continuity to the process, Kura also works with a new, more refined, and attractive way of presenting the collection in a physical visual format, aiming to further highlight the collection's relevance. Once work on the inventory is complete and all information collected, we produce a catalog-book guaranteeing not only that the collection is organized in one place, but also providing a final product that itself is a collectible object, capable of preserving the memory of that collection.

Based on both the client's interest and the profile of their collection, we study the best strategies for its transportation. We are in constant dialogue with institutions, galleries, auction houses, and other private collections, which allows us to mediate assertively and intelligently. We also organize all necessary logistics for transportation, from contracts to shipping, making the process as easy as possible for the collector.

We tend not to define a number of works because we understand that each collection is unique and special, and does not depend on its number of works. However, when collectors approach us, they do so because their collection has already reached a considerable size, big enough for inventory and organization of its respective documentation to make sense.
An alternative for those who intend to expand their collection and want to keep track of it from the very beginning, is to opt for our collection management service. This provides collectors with continuous monitoring of their works, allowing for total control of their collection and, in this way, making it possible to measure and transport their collections safely, with KURA's assistance.
