acquisitions
The ever-changing global landscape of today’s art market, with its international art fairs and dizzying calendar of event, presents more opportunities than ever to buy art. Not surprisingly, it is easy to become overwhelmed with the options.
The firm offers expert services for private clients, and foundations, corporations looking to build a collection or sharpen the focus on an existing collection. We assist clients of all types in navigating the complex network of dealers, fine art fairs and auction houses. Our firm is routinely asked to trace specific works of art on a client’s wish list discreetly and efficiently.
We work closely with the client to ensure that an informed decision is made before purchasing any work of art in any price category so as to avoid costly mistakes. In addition, to avoid any conflict of interest, we are compensated by the hour or on a percentage basis directly by our clients.
