Art Safe - Recovery

ArtAttest helps identify and recover stolen, lost, looted, or contested artworks and collectibles. Drawing on extensive experience in provenance research and market monitoring, we assist rightful owners in reclaiming their property or reaching negotiated resolutions that serve their interests.

Our Recovery Services are available to clients who have registered items with ArtAttest, as well as individuals or organizations seeking help with existing claims.

Aligned, Outcome-Focused Support

Recovery assistance is usually based on a success fee, a percentage of the net benefit the client gains from our efforts. This structure keeps our goals aligned with yours to secure the best possible outcome.

ArtAttest also offers free recovery support to law enforcement, public authorities, and eligible entities when appropriate.

Specialist Expertise

Our recovery team combines legal professionals with experience across multiple jurisdictions, art historians, and cultural property specialists. Supported by a multilingual team, we have successfully resolved many claims through negotiation and legal proceedings.

Whenever possible, we coordinate closely with law enforcement and regulatory bodies to support lawful recovery and ensure compliance with relevant laws and frameworks.
