At the Musee d'Orsay in Paris, which hold the archives of all the great French impressionists, we are authorized researchers with a daily allowance of two hours until an unlimited date.

We are very lucky to have been given so much time. Many researchers wait for months to be given a small research window for just a few weeks.

At this museum, and for example also at the Kandinsky Library, at the Centre Pompidou, we get to perform research directly in the original papers and documents. As opposed to checking microfilms and books. This is the most direct form of research there is. You work sifting through the original papers, letters, photos, in the archive bins.

The research rules vary from museum to museum. It is not the same at the Frick or Morgan in New York, as it is at the Royal Library in Naples, Italy, the Miro Museum in Mallorca, the van Gogh in Holland, or the Getty in Malibu.

What you should know is that we are authorized researchers in a huge number of museums and art libraries, from Melbourne, Australia, to Caracas, Venezuela, to the Georgetown University Library, in Washington DC, to Havana, Cuba, and so on, in some 15 countries.

When you hire art researchers, their ability to research is paramount and you should know that when you hire us, you hire one of the largest teams of art researchers in the world.
