Presentation
Founded in 2015, Institut Restellini is a pioneer in the contribution of the most advanced technologies in the field of art history, and documentation, by combining scientific methods with traditional stylistic and historical analysis.
Institut Restellini is dedicated to work in total independence from the art market, alongside the best scientists worldwide, on any work of art, and not only on works by Modigliani. For this purpose, it relies on the scientific analysis of Institut Restellini – Investigation in Geneva, continuing the partnership built with the SGS Art Services laboratory, allowing it to achieve complete analyses of ancient, modern and contemporary works of art and to create the most scientifically advanced catalogues, by integrating the latest techniques..
The use of the latest scientific techniques also includes innovative and even revolutionary techniques:
- Complete scientific analysis thanks to high-resolution digital imaging
- The integration of advanced electronic components, directly associating the work to all of its corpus of electronic and scientific imaging
- Traceability of the works as a means to fight the traffic and stealing of art works
A unique degree of precision
The Institut Restellini can offer a compliance report, which relies on the results of scientific analyses together with the expert’s opinion, as a complete updated record on each work:
- Technical examination report (analysis of the materials and technique)
- Stylistic comparative analysis
- Documentation: provenance, exhibitions, literature
- Conclusion of the study
The Restellini institutes: for a complete approach of the analysis of your works
