Since 2011, VAN HAM has been the only German auction house to offer comprehensive management of artists’ estates, based on many years of experience in the international art market and on scientific expertise.
The aim of VAN HAM Art Estate’s comprehensive estate management is to effectively preserve the reputation and value of artists in the long term.
Together with the heirs, and preferably already during their lifetime with the artists themselves, we develop individual concepts for an appropriate handling of the bequest as an estate or inheritance. Our concern is the ongoing representation of the artists in the public and cultural discourse as well as the preservation of their position through both art historical research and international marketing.
