SERVICES

All-encompassing advisory services are available to provide the intelligence clients need to navigate the art market, evaluate artworks, and assemble collections with enduring value.

• Provenance, valuations, and market matters are researched; insurance values are set; and the benefits and risks of acquisitions and sales are assessed.

• Modern and Contemporary art and design across all media are sourced. Acquisitions, sales, and private resales are negotiated.

• I also manage commissions, exhibition loans, and collection donations. (This includes identifying the best venues from which to sell works, assisting with appraisal coordination, and negotiating for competitive ads and marketing to achieve strong sales outcomes.)

• Works by established, undervalued, and emerging artists are scouted regularly, and art industry relationships are called upon to gather timely insights into art market trends.

Optimizing the safety, documentation, presentation, and physical care of fine artworks is essential to their proper management and long-term value.

• A full range of expertise and practical experience is drawn from to accurately inventory and document the condition of artworks. If desired, I can also vet and arrange the set up of a collection database and coordinate the production of collection photography.

• Locating secure, safe storage solutions for a collection can be daunting. I identify and vet storage options and formulate plans for the long-term storage, care, and security of artworks.

• Time consuming shipping logistics and installations are coordinated with insured fine art shippers, preparators, and installers.

• Image rights and reproduction matters are also managed.

I draw on my extensive background as an art historian, curator, and researcher to help my clients assemble a coherent and meaningful collection that reflects their unique interests and goals.

• My clients’ preferences, motivations, and tastes serve as guides for sourcing works, creating a framework for putting a collection together, and suggesting ways their collection can be shaped and used to enhance its value.

• I help private and corporate clients implement plans for managing their collections’ long-term preservation, display, and interpretation, along with tracking its value over time and curating exhibitions.

Enrichment activities are arranged to help novice and experienced collectors focus their interests, refine their taste, and cultivate relationships that support continued learning. Clients with philanthropic interests are connected with organizations whose programs and missions align with their goals.

• Private collections, art fairs, auctions, galleries, artists’ studios, and other outlets are surveyed regularly in order to educate my clients and inform their acquisitions and sales decisions.

• Curated gallery, museum, studio, and site visits are arranged for clients who want to learn more about an artist, designer, style, or movement/school and view available works.

• Clients can also request tailored enrichment activities that boost their understanding of emerging market and creative developments.
