What We Do

REGISTER / RESEARCH / RECOVER

Art Claim is a different kind of database.

It offers an intelligent solution for cataloguing lost, stolen and at-risk works of art and cultural property and alerts you to any matches when they occur.

Starting from scratch, Art Claim is built on a foundation of "smart data", building individually tailored records that are easy to use, easy to search and easy to update.

Designed for accuracy and ease of use, Art Claim utilises a practical user interface, innovative image recognition software and over 400 fields of searchable data.
