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.
We specialise in helping people find art they’ll love forever, first. For us, investment returns are fun, but not why we’re doing this.
Fortunately, we all love art for the same reason. When it feels meaningful to us. Where our story, and the artist’s, find harmony. So - we get to know you a bit, and then only suggest art based on your taste, space and budget.
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 this way 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.
