Specializing in the art world

At William Victor, we know that linguistic skills alone are not sufficient to produce effective translations related to art history, art theory, or art law.  A successful translation depends as well on fluency in the terminology of the field and an understanding of the subject matter. Our team therefore includes art historians and other experts collaborating with native translators and editors who have received special subject training.  In order better to serve the legal translation needs of dealers and artists, we have also set up a dedicated legal translation department.
