Every art collection carries a story. We carry it forward.
Kollektor is the only art inventory system that connects select collections with the world’s leading museums and curators — turning inventory into opportunity, and private holdings into lasting legacy.

The gap
“Extant but inaccessible.”
An estimated one million significant works sit in private collections, out of reach for curators.
Kollektor closes this gap — helping curators discover them while enabling collectors to strengthen provenance, value, and connections.

Lost Art: when works disappear into private collections
The platform
One place for collections and institutions to work together — from inventory to exhibition loans.
Inventory
Your collection, documented to curatorial standard.
Save provenance, condition reports, exhibition history, images and more — safely and up to standard. Complimentary migration included.
Kollektor Gallery
Where people who move culture connect.
Once your collection is in the Kollektor Inventory, choose to showcase individual works with their basic details through the Kollektor Gallery — to an audience of your choosing, from select museums to a wider network of collections. By joining, collectors strengthen their collections exhibition potential while curators gain access to works that they did not have access to before.
Network & Loans
From inquiry to exhibition.
When a curator finds a work on Kollektor, they can send an exhibition loan inquiry directly. The collector accepts or declines. If accepted, more details are shared and an exhibition takes shape — the work hangs on walls that matter, while its history and standing in the field grows.

Lender: Lidice Art Collection
Oct 17, 2025 – Mar 2, 2026
In 1967, curator René Block organized the exhibition Hommage à Lidice in Berlin — the first show in West Germany to critically reflect on Nazi history through the lens of contemporary art. Block gathered donations from artists including Gerhard Richter, Sigmar Polke, and Joseph Beuys for the newly established Lidice Solidarity Collection. Among these was Richter’s important painting Onkel Rudi.
Onkel Rudi is available on Kollektor.

“I welcome this platform, which connects individual players in the art world with institutions and gives them the opportunity to get to know one another and cooperate.”
“Kollektor is a valuable resource for acquiring loans and, at the same time, enables explorations of high-caliber art collections, some of which are little known. Thereby contributing to higher quality of exhibitions and a creative exchange.”
“Kollektor has transformed the way we manage our lending activities. For a collection with the historical weight of Lidice, having a single, reliable system for loan requests and institutional communication is a necessity. It expands our reach in ways we did not anticipate.”
