Provision of valuation and inventory services for the Arts Council’s Art collection

Tender description

The Arts Council is seeking a suitably qualified service provider to carry out inventory and valuation services for the Arts Council’s art collection. The Arts Council began collecting works of art in 1962. The aim from the beginning was to purchase work from living artists at a critical stage in their career. The collection has continued to grow through regular acquisitions and there are now approx. 1,100 works in the collection. Operating as ‘museum without walls’ it is primarily a lending collection. Works can be seen in schools, hospitals, public sector buildings, as well as galleries, museums and other arts organisations in Ireland.
