Art brings aesthetic and cultural value and has historically been a key alternative asset class. In the past our team has worked with top artists, galleries, art funds, advisors and specialists across Post 19th century Western, Asian and Indian art.

We bring independent, expert advice and specialist services in all areas of the art advisory process and cut through the opaque world of art to de-risk art investments for our Family Offices. We facilitate the following:

Art collecting from studio purchases, private sales, auction representation; acquisition and collection management, divestment and estate issues for our Family Offices.
We work with established art funds with long track-records to create appreciating holdings and positive returns for our family Offices; whilst establishing our own targeted art funds in specific niche and undervalued areas of the art world and market.
We save our clients time and money and we reduce their transactional risk by guiding them through the opaque international art market purchasing process.

This profile is primarily for my curatorial projects as I don't promote my clients' artworks on the internet. Although I'm happy to talk directly to owners seeking advice about their artworks, I've no interest whatsoever to enter into discussions about artworks with agents/brokers/dealers of any sort.

This refers in particular to agents/brokers/dealers claiming to be part of a 'network' as I believe this type of mass marketing of artworks undermines the intrinsic value of the work, and I have a duty of care to my clients to ensure their artworks are handled with integrity and discretion.

Equally, although I may search Internet for various reasons, I'm not seeking to represent contemporary artists at this time, and so I suggest those seeking representation focus on galleries that have a specific interest in the type artwork you're producing.

Art is generally a less profitable segment of the art market than Contemporary art primarily because the latter segment enjoys the price impact of fashion, speculation and frequent turnover whereas old masterpieces are rare, relatively stable in price and sold much less frequently. Last year, Old Masters produced $1 billion in global auction revenue compared with $1.7 billion from Contemporary art (by artists born after 1945). The Old Masters segment nonetheless remains a vital pillar of the art market and it enjoys dedicated sales several times a year.
Christie’s and Sotheby’s have just finished their New York sales of Old Masters with an honorable result for the former … but not so brilliant for the latter. On June 4, Christie’s hammered a total of $17.9m (with fees), including three 7-digit results, and on June 5, Sotheby’s generated only $4.1m. Clearly million-dollar results are harder to produce in the OM segment than in the Contemporary segment. Moreover, the price range at a single prestige OM sale can be astonishingly broad. Below is a selection of the works from the recent sales, at three distinct price levels.
