Acquisitions

Art is personal. I guide you in discovering distinctive works that reflect your tastes and motivations, while helping you make informed decisions with confidence. From evaluating market value, condition, and authenticity to negotiating with galleries and artists or representing you at auction, I provide the insight and advocacy needed to navigate the acquisition process. The global art market can be complex and opaque; my role is to bring clarity and a thoughtful strategy to every acquisition, ensuring your collection grows with intention.

Provenance and due diligence research

Understanding an artwork’s provenance and history is essential to responsible collecting. Thorough due diligence helps identify potential legal, financial, and reputational risks, providing greater confidence in the legitimacy and ethical standing of a work before a transaction takes place.

Due diligence is particularly important when considering:

• Art transactions: Acquisitions, sales, donations, exchanges, and museum loans.

• Financial arrangements: Art-related investments, financing, and loans secured against artworks.

• Collection management: Insurance, storage, and transportation of artworks.

Collections management: inventories, cataloguing and conservation

Caring for your art is critical to its value. Understanding inventory systems, cataloguing, conservation, installation, and protection from damage and theft are responsibilities often underlooked in private collections, to the detriment of their value. It is vital to work with a qualified professional that understands museum-quality practices for handling and protecting your art collection.
