A Full Service Art Advisory

Discreet sourcing of your dream Artworks, in harmony with your home and as your taste demands. Providing an extensive network into sourcing Art and Design with Private Collectors and Art Galleries globally, I assess value and price levels in order to optimize costs and revenues when purchasing and selling privately.
With over 20 years of experience with Auction Houses, both as a client and as a former Director at Phillips and Christie's, I provide guidance in quality, price and value levels, and strategy for Acquisitions and Sales at Auctions worldwide.
Auction Guarantees provide collectors with an opportunity to acquire a painting at the lowest price possible by working together. Should the Guarantor not land the painting, they share in the upside profits with the Auction House making it either a great way to collect, or a way to make profits without shelling out a penny.
Sourcing your dream work, or conducing a full condition report on a potential acquisition.

From valuations to various exit strategies, I provide support to install and implement a full Art Estate Plan so you can enjoy your art knowing its properly protected and simply beautifying your life, not complicating it.
