Vetting at PAN Amsterdam
PAN Amsterdam places great importance on the trust of its visitors and collectors. That is why every object presented at the fair is carefully inspected prior to the opening. The vetting is not only a standard element of the fair preparation but also forms an essential foundation for the quality and reliability for which PAN is renowned.
The vetting takes place on the day before the official opening of the fair. In total, 22 specialized vetting committees are active, composed of renowned experts from the museum world, academic institutions, and the art trade. They assess the objects on authenticity, quality, and condition, with the goal of providing the public with information that is as transparent and accurate as possible.
Each committee focuses exclusively on objects within its area of expertise. Exhibitors are responsible for providing documentation on provenance, ownership, material, condition, and other relevant characteristics. The assessment is based on current scientific and professional insights. The committees work according to established vetting guidelines, which are closely monitored by the head of the vetting, Jan Rudolph De Lorm. In this way, PAN Amsterdam guarantees a high standard and creates a safe and trustworthy environment for collectors, enthusiasts, and professionals in the art world.

Art Loss Register (ALR)
The ALR is the world's largest privately managed database of stolen, missing, and looted artworks and antiques. In addition to the vetting that decides on authenticity, attribution, and condition, objects at PAN Amsterdam are also checked against the ALR, which contains over 700,000 items reported as missing or stolen, subject to dispute or loan, or associated with other complications.
Any object for which a claim is found will be removed from the fair for further investigation. We aim for all our exhibitors to check the objects they intend to present at the fair against the Art Loss Register. Visitors and participants at PAN Amsterdam can request an ALR certificate prior to the purchase or sale of an object. Thanks to this procedure, buyers at PAN Amsterdam can be confident that every object offered has been thoroughly vetted.
