Collection management:

VK Studio strongly believes in the general maintenance of art collections as a preventive measure to further restoration work. Consultation on how best to look after your collection and condition reporting are both services offered. Seasonal cleaning, correct art-handling and storage are of prime importance to a collection.
​


Conservation Services:
​
VK Studio follows a professional deontology (readability, reversibility, compatibility, and stability); and all treatments sought will be as minimalist and least invasive possible to respect the work of the artist.
