01Establishing collecting goals
A framework for an enduring collection, built on aesthetics, investment value, institutional relevance and each client’s long-term goals.
Private collections
Independent of galleries and auction houses, we give unbiased guidance in an opaque market.
How we work
Navigating the art world with confidence takes an enormous amount of time. We scrutinize offerings and artists with care and due diligence to reduce transactional risk, bring price transparency, and offer an astute curatorial eye.
We bring education and expertise to decisions that are otherwise impulsive and passionate. Our mandate is to keep clients from overpaying and to avoid any conflict of interest.
Our focus is a strong consultant-client relationship: crafting a defined collecting goal, then holding to it.

What we do for collectors
01
02Access to the best work
Exceptional access to the highest-quality work through long relationships with artists, auction houses, galleries and dealers around the world.
03Sourcing and acquiring
Complete discretion and objectivity, whether we are building a collection over years or procuring a single work.
04Conservation and restoration
Restoration for damaged or aged work in every medium: paintings, works on paper, photography, sculpture, glass and digital work. Much damage is treatable, from age-related cracking to smoke, fire and water.
05Divestment
Selling on a client’s behalf takes strategy. We weigh every avenue to reach the best financial result while keeping privacy, discretion and tax advantages intact, working with private buyers, auction houses, galleries and dealers.
06Education
A dialogue that gets at the personal reasons for collecting, then unfolds through museum exhibitions, galleries, studio visits and art-world events, toward a fuller understanding of individual artists, historical context and market direction.
Being independent from galleries and auction houses, we provide unbiased guidance in an opaque market.
