Art advisory is expert guidance on sourcing, curating and acquiring art. You’ll find some great art directly from many galleries, but their advice is naturally biased in a way that an advisory is not.
We start by agreeing a specific brief. That may be sourcing a statement piece, or building a collection. Based on the agreed brief, we either charge a retainer and work as a professional service firm, or a commission on sourced artwork, or a blend between the two. The key is transparency.
Certainly. Many of our clients are buying seriously for the first time, but the art world can be peculiar when a sought after piece has several interested parties. We can only help guide collectors.
We advise private collectors, family offices, corporate clients and institutions on acquisitions, collection strategy and long-term value. All engagements are handled with complete discretion.
Understanding value versus cost is central to what we do. We work with clients who want art that moves them and makes sound sense as an asset. Our advisory draws on deep knowledge of the primary and secondary market.
No. Consultations are available by appointment at The Old War Office, London or via Zoom.
As the value of art can vary so wildly, and every collector has such personal preferences, fees are agreed on a per client basis, before we start charging anything.
