FROM CONSERVATION OVER RESTORATION TO MANAGING COLLECTIONS
Conservation & restoration
We handle modern and contemporary art objects, paintings, polychromic sculptures, works of art in stone and hard materials like plaster and ivory, textiles, wooden objects and furniture.
Research & analysis
IPARC does research and implements/realizes (preliminary)studies both for private and public projects. The research involves, apart from material-specific technical study, complementary iconographic research as well as background situation within the context of Art History. Any form of research can be supplemented with a study of relevant bibliographical references.
Integrated contamination management (ICM)
Treatment targeting pest-infection, mould, insect infections and related methods of biological cleansing such as mechanical cleaning, freezing and hot air treatment combining hot air with controlled humidity to treat infection.
Managing collections
Both private and public collectors are increasingly looking for collection related services. These services may include collection management (registration and digitalization), specialized storage services, condition checks, monitoring of climate conditions, integrated pest management and feedback reports.
ARTPORT art storage
ARTPORT offers a 700 m2 facility comprising a workshop, laboratories and studio as well as 2.000 m2 art storage facilities for customers. Both short term and long term storage are possible as well as emergency storage.
Smartcare monitoring conditions
Smartcare is a small and discrete plug and play data logger not needing SIM tracking nor network registration. Besides the data logger, our conservation team will naturally also ensure a permanent, 24/7 and professional surveillance of the climatological conditions of your collection.
