At Mountlab, a high-end presentation starts with understanding the artwork itself.
High-quality framing or presentation is costly. That is why it is important to know in advance what is being handled, which information belongs to the work and whether the visible characteristics correspond with the available documentation.
We look at signatures, numbering, editions, paper, printing technique, stamps, labels, certificates, provenance information and earlier registrations. This is not separate from the framing process. It is part of treating the artwork with the care it requires.
Mountlab has experience with artworks, certification, valuations for auctions and financial institutions, and corporate collections. We bring that knowledge into the framing process. Not to turn every assignment into an extensive research report, but to ensure that valuable works are not processed without attention to authenticity, value and documentation.
Research, Certification & Valuation is connected to works that are framed or presented by Mountlab. For independent reports, certificates, valuation or more detailed research, we refer to Authentication & Documentation.
This gives the artwork not only a high-quality presentation, but also a clear and professional record.
