Millions of artworks exchange hands each year to become part of collections owned by individuals, institutions, businesses, and other organizations. I deliver evidence-based guidance as well as collection, curatorial, and art history expertise to individuals, museums, and various other industries that collect, present, and engage audiences with fine artworks in different environments. To accomplish this, I source the best possible artworks for my clients, and I provide the expertise each owner needs to strengthen the coherence, care, presentation, and importance of their fine art holdings while also enhancing the value they get from their art.
Advisory services are available to deliver the research clients need to vet objects, navigate the market, and build collections with longterm value.
Collection management expertise can be accessed to manage the logistics associated with moving artworks of value and to help each client optimize the care, presentation, and documentation of their fine art holdings.
Curatorial expertise is available to help each client weigh the benefits and risks of sales and acquisitions, sharpen their collection’s focus, and formulate a curatorial plan that addresses longterm preservation, display, research, and collection goals.
Connections that give insights into modern and contemporary art, the art market, and art industry trends can be made through tours and other activities that are arranged to support learning and help clients cultivate relationships.
