Taylor and Piwowarczyk produce research on a wide variety of art historical topics, some of more intellectual interest and others for defined legal or commercial purposes. As part of his dissertation research, Dr. Taylor compiled a database of all artworks exhibited and sold on the Hungarian art market from 1800 to 1914, including complete copies of all surviving exhibition catalogues. This archive has now been acquired by the Frick Museum Library's Center for Collecting, and he served as the Leon Levy Fellow at the Frick Collection's Center for the History of Collecting for 2016. Dr. Taylor is also currently working with Dipso Films on Elmyr on the Edge, their definitive documentary film on the Hungarian art forger, Elmy de Hory. Piwowarczyk is a Fellow at the Frick Collection's Center for the History of Collecting for the Summer of 2018 where he is researching the History of Art Forensics and its role in the assembling of the Frick Collection. Dr. Taylor's Master in Gallery Management & Exhibits Specialization (MGES) program at Western Colorado State University is currently producing a report on the size of the US Art Market for 2017, and they have released their first preliminary report, a study of the Colorado Art Market in 2016.
