SERVICES

We are an art advisory and consulting practice that considers collecting and ownership as an important, personal relationship as well as a dynamic, moving part of a broader financial plan.  Engaging clients early on to explore motivations for active collecting or maintaining an existing collection, we are able to home in on how the collection reflects personal aesthetic, financial and philanthropic goals, sometimes across generations. Over 20 years of experience, including advisory in the private banking sector, means we prioritize client confidentiality, ethics and due diligence in all areas of service.
