Taylor Wessing Art Collection Project
Art Contact has long supported Taylor Wessing in managing its art collection. During a major office refurbishment, we were appointed to oversee the collection through a complex multi-phase relocation.
We began with a full audit, creating a comprehensive online database to catalogue, photograph, and track every artwork. This system became central to managing the collection throughout the project, including identifying works requiring conservation.
A detailed relocation plan was developed for the temporary offices, with pre-approved installation layouts ensuring a smooth transition. Our specialist art handlers then carefully de-installed, packed, transported, and reinstalled the collection, updating the database at every stage.
In preparation for the return to the refurbished offices, selected artworks were reframed, and precise move and installation plans were created. The Taylor Wessing collection was then successfully relocated and installed in its new environment, with updated hanging systems where required.
Following completion, the database and associated website were updated, with QR codes introduced to provide easy access to artwork information for staff and visitors.
Ongoing conservation of selected works remains part of the collection’s long-term care.
