art loans
Temporary exhibition transfers
Art loans are arrangements where artworks are temporarily transferred from one institution or collector to another, typically for exhibitions, research, or display.
Museums routinely negotiate art loans to mount special exhibitions: The Vermeer show required loans from twelve countries.
The term also covers commercial lending against art as collateral, where collectors borrow money using valuable pieces as security.
