Our Art Advisory Practice
Generally, people assume an Art Advisor will cost more for the same piece of art. Not with us - at least, not usually.
First we learn about your taste, space and budget. Then we share ideas based on listening. It's (usually) that simple.
Fortunately, we all love art for the same two reasons - when we're attracted aesthetically, and the artwork itself feels meaningful to us.
How we do it.
Step 1
Take the Art-I-Love Review – our online ‘taste test’.
Step 2
We suggest specific pieces of art based on you – we don’t throw darts at a board.
Step 3
Decision time. You’ll know. Choosing like this is a different experience.
For art selected within the first two meetings, there are no Art Advisory fees.
Some useful notes.
On using AI. We don’t think it’s evil – we use it for some things. But its strength relies on large data sets. As there’s nobody else quite like you, we don’t use it to recommend art, and we don’t have AI ‘artists’.
On Budgets. Nobody dines at a Michelin restaurant every night. And every art lover we’ve met enjoys a range of ideas and budgets. We don’t just target your highest figure.
When buying a piece, you pay the same with us for any piece of art as you’d pay going direct to the artist, or another gallery. But you could also go to the artist, or another gallery, directly. So we use the Honour Code system. We ask that, if we’ve helped you find something, if you then find it elsewhere for less, give us the chance to match that price. We’re all supposed to have the same price – so this shouldn’t happen, but it does.
The only time you pay more for a piece is when you instruct us to do, find or make something specific. We then act as a professional service firm: giving you a clear budget up front, then charging you hourly for the time it takes to fulfil your specific request.
