COMMERCIAL PURPOSE.
HOW WE CAN HELP
Build a collection
or find the right buyer.
You might be seeking a work from a particular artist or period, or considering a private sale from an existing collection. We clarify the collecting brief or sale objective, identify relevant galleries, advisers or collectors, and make introductions with the information you have agreed to share.
We can coordinate viewings and connect you with specialist partners for provenance research, authentication, condition reports or valuation. You can then decide whether to pursue a work or progress a sale discussion.
THE SUPPORT AROUND THE INTRODUCTION
A controlled process.
A professional route forward.
The relevant specialists
Appointed specialists assess provenance, authenticity, condition, title and valuation, alongside relevant legal, tax and cross-border matters.
The commercial conversation
Agree confidentiality and representation, then coordinate discussions. The parties and their advisers decide whether to proceed.
Practical ways we can help you.
If you are looking to collect
- Define the search
Set the artist, period, medium or collecting theme and agree which galleries, advisers or collectors are relevant.
- Gather evidence for your decision
Coordinate a viewing and introduce specialists for provenance, condition or valuation where needed.
If you have a work or collection to sell
- Identify a relevant audience
Research potential collectors, galleries or advisers for an individual work or group of works.
- Explore a private sale
Agree how the work is introduced, what supporting material to share and whether there is interest in taking a discussion further.
THE WAY WE WORK
Integrity in the process.
Respect in every relationship.
We respect the owner’s instructions and collector’s requirements, coordinating discussions and disclosures within the agreed brief.
Independently appointed specialists provide their own advice. An introduction does not establish authenticity, ownership or value.
A CLEARER UNDERSTANDING
Questions,
considered.
Can you help source a specific work?
We consider defined collecting briefs and relevant introductions. Availability and disclosure depend on the owner’s agreement.
Do you authenticate or value works?
Appointed art specialists authenticate and value works. We make introductions and coordinate the agreed process.
A PRIVATE CONVERSATION

to make possible?
