Individual Artwork Loans

Please make a loan request to curatorial@aptglobal.org listing the works


you would like to borrow. Once we have received your loan request, an Art
Collection Manager will be in touch to begin the loan process. In addition to
approval by an Art Collection Manager, all loan requests will be submitted to the
artist. The Collection Manager will document and monitor the loan throughout
the process should you have any questions.

LOAN AGREEMENT — A loan agreement must be signed by the Lendor (APT) and
Lendee (borrowing institution) that stipulates all artwork requested, proposed
dates, locations of exhibition, insurance information, as well as specifications for
transportation (including pick-up and delivery) and installation. Please include
information about the proposed exhibition, including a curatorial statement,
press release, or general overview.

DURATION OF EXHIBITION — All artwork loans must be for a predetermined length


of time. It is necessary for APT to be aware of proposed exhibition dates to ensure
the availability of requested artworks.

TRANSPORT & INSURANCE — We request that the cost of packing, transportation,


courier service, and installation be paid for by the Lendee, in addition to any
fees incurred by APT in releasing the artworks. Due to the size and scope of our
collection, APT artworks are stored in locations around the world. To ensure that
the cost of packing and transportation remains within the proposed budget, our
Art Collection Managers can assist curators and representatives to find suitable
works in locations convenient to the borrowing institution. The Lendee must
also provide proof of insurance coverage for the artworks while they are in
transport and in their possession.
Please keep in mind that artworks in the APT collection may be available for
acquisition, even during periods of exhibition. In the event an artwork is sold
while on loan, APT reserves the right to request that the work be returned to the
designated party.

APT also reserves the right to place restrictions on the loan of certain objects,
which the artist or APT have determined should not be subject to travel or
exhibition.

CONDITION REPORTS — APT will produce a condition report prior to the release
of and immediately upon the return of each borrowed artwork. It is highly
suggested that the borrowing institution complete a condition report when the
artwork enters and leaves the institution’s possession to assist APT in monitoring
the condition of each of our artworks.

PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL — Credits and courtesy line should be attributed to the


“Artist and Artist Pension Trust [City]” (i.e. APT New York), in all exhibition
material created by the borrowing individual or institution. In exchange for
posting exhibition information on APT’s website and event listings, APT kindly
requests exhibition catalogues, high- resolution images of the artwork after
installation, and any other promotional material published with regards to the
exhibition.

VIDEO LENDING LIBRARY — Our holdings in new media represent almost 15%
of the APT Collection. The Video Lending Library is a media-based offering
that provides museum curators and art organizations with an extensive
selection of videos and video-based installations for their exhibition
programming. The APT Video Library will soon be available for viewing on
site in our New York offices.

Curated Exhibitions & Exhibition
Planning Services

APT CURATORIAL offers curated exhibitions as well as exhibition planning services


that are customized to meet an institution’s needs.

CURATED EXHIBITIONS — APT develops exhibitions by professional curators


that are available for loan. The cost to borrow these exhibitions covers the
curatorial fee and the administrative fee for processing the loan. The borrowing
institution is responsible for arranging and paying for transportation, packing,
and insurance. A select group of available exhibitions and the associated
curatorial statements are viewable in our web galleries at
http://go.aptglobal.org/exhibitions. These include:

> “TIME TO PLAY” BY MIKI GARCIA

> “FICTION, FANTASY, AND FRAGMENTS” BY PAMELA AUCHINCLOSS

> “IN ART WE TRUST” BY YULIA TIKHONOVA

EXHIBITION PLANNING SERVICES­ — Exhibition planning services offer an

alternative to our existing exhibitions. This service offers the benefit of the APT
Collection, with the added dimension of a customizable experience.
Institutions are invited to contact APT Curatorial to discuss the parameters
of a new project. You will receive a proposal with the details of an APT Curator
from our international network of professionals that we believe best suits the
needs of your exhibition, as well as an estimate. Our APT curator will then
begin work on a thematic exhibition within the institution’s considerations—
including budget, venue space, and location. The fees for our services include
a curatorial statement (may serve as wall text), wall labels, and an artwork
checklist.
The fee for curated exhibitions and exhibition planning services starts at
$4,500 USD per exhibition.

Please contact curatorial@aptglobal.org for more information.

About APT

APT is the first investment program created specifically to provide emerging and
mid-career artists with a long-term financial planning opportunity through the
collective contribution of their artworks into funds. APT consists of eight indi-
vidual trusts developed around major art centers (New York, London, Beijing,
Berlin, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Mumbai and Dubai). Comprised of up to 250
artists each, every APT is defined by an accomplished group of art professionals
with an expertise in contemporary art—selecting each artist based on the quality
of their work, their career growth potential, and their participation in the contem-
porary art scene. These artists work closely with our APT Directors to build a pro-
prietary collection of their artworks within the framework of the APT Collection.
You may read further about the APT model, view newly added artworks from
our collection, and find available touring exhibitions at www.aptglobal.org. Artist
profiles, articles, and events will guide your research and exhibition planning.
