id.collector Information

id.collector™ works together with you to create a beautifully bound book celebrating your collection. We conduct in house interviews that illuminate and capture the thinking and bravery of building a collection. Coupled with the interview, we curate a selection of images that serve as highlights of your art acquisitions. The result is an elegant hard cover book covering the history and breadth of your collection. Our bound books are also accessible in digital format allowing you to easily share and transport your collection with select curators, museums, and colleagues. id.collector books may be shown and shared on tablets, mobile devices and online. Share a beautiful slideshow of the collection with a friend over lunch. Collections can be digitally loaned to universities for educational purposes or used as a visual reference with an art adviser. id.collector makes it easy to enjoy your collection with others.
