When an international law firm prepared to relocate its Atlanta offices, Cochran Arts was engaged to conduct a comprehensive appraisal of the firm’s corporate collection, which had been assembled over more than three decades. Beyond establishing updated insurance values prior to transit, the appraisal provided an essential framework for risk management during the move, ensuring that the collection was properly documented and adequately insured while works were packed, transported, and reinstalled.

The appraisal process also created an opportunity to reassess the collection itself and how it would function within the firm’s new space. As with many long-held corporate collections, certain artists and works had gained significance over time, while others no longer carried the same visual or cultural resonance they once had. By evaluating the collection through both a market and curatorial lens, Cochran Arts helped prioritize key works within the reinstallation plan, creating a presentation that better reflected the strength and evolution of the collection while also aligning with the firm’s new interior design and the broader image it sought to project through its updated offices.
