Simmons Art Advisory Services

My practice encompasses art and design dating from the emergence of modern art to the present. I am drawn to practitioners who have made meaningful contributions to transnational art history and culture, and to artists and designers who warrant deeper consideration within contemporary art historical narratives.

For instance, African and African-American artists and designers are increasingly being recognized by leading museums, scholars, international exhibitions, and the global art market. Artworks by these practitioners offer compelling opportunities for clients seeking works of distinction, historical depth, and enduring relevance. At the same time, a number of important artists of African descent remain comparatively under-recognized and undervalued in relation to the depth of their achievement, cultural influence, historical importance, and long-term significance.

My approach is grounded in rigorous research, close looking, and a nuanced understanding of the art market and cultural landscape—identifying works and artists whose significance extends beyond prevailing market attention and whose place in the history of art continues to evolve with the potential for enduring significance over time.
