Art Advisory for Private Collectors
Independent guidance for building, managing, and protecting a meaningful art collection.

Acquisitions & Deaccessions
Together, we establish your aesthetic, budget, and collecting goals. We then curate and source a carefully vetted selection of artwork, evaluate opportunities, negotiate purchases and sales, and manage contracts on your behalf to secure favorable terms.
For deaccessions, we assess the most advantageous path to market through auction or private sale, providing strategic guidance throughout the process.
We also collaborate with architects and interior designers throughout residential design, FF&E procurement, and construction to ensure each acquisition is considered within the broader plan.

Strategic Planning
Art is an important consideration in broader financial, estate, and philanthropic planning.
