Being independent from galleries and auction houses, we provide unbiased guidance in an opaque market. Navigating the art world with confidence is incredibly time-consuming. We scrutinize and examine offerings and artists with care and due diligence to ensure we reduce transactional risk, provide price transparency, and offer an astute curatorial eye. Infusing education and expertise, we bring credible guidance to otherwise impulsive and passionate decisions. It is our mandate to steer clients away from overpaying and avoid conflict of interest.
“Our focus is to develop a strong consultant-client relationship to craft and then adhere to a defined collecting goal.”
— JOHN WOLF

Divestment
Selling on behalf of a client takes strategy. It’s crucial to weigh all possible avenues to achieve the best financial result while maintaining privacy, discretion, and tax advantages. Working with private buyers, auction houses, galleries, and dealers we strive to make the most appropriate decisions to quickly and effectively mandate a sale.
-
Education
We strive to develop a dialogue that delves in the the personal impetus for collecting to determine future goals. This process unfolds through education via visiting museum exhibitions, galleries, artists studio visits and art world events. The result is a more comprehensive understanding of individual artists, historical context and market direction.
