VivantHaus
For Collectors

You already own more than you can hang.

Most serious collections are two-thirds invisible. VivantHaus offers a way to put the invisible part back into circulation without selling it.

Consign, don't sell

Place works from your own collection into the club. They are catalogued, insured, condition-reported and placed with other members. You retain ownership throughout and may recall a work with sixty days' notice.

Earn exchange credit

Consigned works generate credit against your own membership. Several members' collections effectively fund their placements — art paying for art.

Free the storage

Works in circulation are works out of a crate. Climate-controlled storage costs money and shows nothing to anyone.

Keep the record

Every placement adds documented, insured custody history. Condition reports before and after each move stay attached to the work permanently.

Discretion by default

Owners are never named to placing members. Provenance disclosure is yours to authorise, work by work.

Review

What we accept

Consigned works pass the same panel as acquisitions. We look for condition sound enough to travel, documentation sufficient to insure, and a place in the collection that is not already occupied.

Insurance during consignment is carried by the club at agreed value. Transport in both directions is ours. Nothing leaves your house without a signed condition report and nothing returns without another.
