Succinct advice to pass on to your clients

In the wealth management section of the September 21, 2015 issue of The Wall Street Journal, Daniel Grant provided a brief primer on what an owner of works of art should know about damage and restoration (“The Delicate Restoration Dance”). Working from the proposition that “…when it comes to protecting the value of one’s art, the manner in which a piece was damaged doesn’t matter. What matters a thousand—perhaps a million – times more is how the owner can go about restoring the piece’s value…”, he discussed the assessment of damage, how medium affects the success of a restoration, and how to find out if a potential purchase has been restored. This might be something to hand out to one’s clients.
