ADVISORY SERVICES
From the quality of the work, the state of the market, potential issues with provenance or endangered materials, auction location and timing, and whether the most aggressive deal is really the best one are just a small fraction of the issues that may need consideration. They are part of our ongoing conversation as we work together.
We have the technical expertise to help build your collection, to guide and oversee decisions about conservation, long term plans, insurance coverage and documentation.
As your advisor we work solely on your behalf, with no conflicts of interest. We act with complete discretion and transparency.
The art market can be opaque with many hidden variables. Knowing what they are and having someone to guide you through their implications makes the critical difference for a successful purchase or sale.
