Paul Cassirer & Walter Feilchenfeldt Archive

As we process our archive material, we consistantly gain new knowledge, which we incorporate into workshops, lectures and publications.

As a result, the visibility of the archive has increased significantly at a national and international level in recent years, leading to a steady increase of research enquiries.

In order to do justice to this increasing workload, we will be charging the following fees in future:

 

   1) Requests for non-commercial research purposes:

   We charge an annual fee of CHF/EURO 5000,- for museums and other institutions that           make regular enquiries to the archive.

   Individual requests for research purposes will continue to be free of charge.

 

   2) Requests from commercial organisations:

   For regular enquiries fron auction houses, galleries, law firms and provenance researchers,     we charge an annual fee of CHF/EURO 7000,-.  

   Individual enquiries are charged according to time and effort.                                                   (CHF/EURO 140,- per hour)
