WHAT I DO
I'm a one-man operation. There's no team, no associates, no junior advisors handling your inquiry while I'm at a fair. When you work with me, you work directly with me.
Navigating the contemporary art market requires more than just an eye for aesthetics; it requires access, discretion, and a deep understanding of market dynamics. My art advisory service is built on these principles, providing a highly personalized, transparent approach to acquiring and selling fine art. Whether you are building a collection from the ground up, looking to acquire a specific blue-chip masterpiece, or seeking to deaccession works from an established portfolio, I offer tailored guidance every step of the way.
For Buyers and New Collectors
Entering the art market can be daunting. I help clients articulate their tastes, establish clear acquisition goals, and navigate the often opaque pricing structures of primary and secondary markets. From sourcing works by emerging talents to securing pieces by established masters like Jean-Michel Basquiat, KAWS, or Andy Warhol, I leverage my extensive global network of galleries, private dealers, and auction houses. I handle the due diligence—authenticity verification, condition reporting, provenance research, and price negotiation—ensuring you acquire significant works with confidence and at the right valuation.
For Sellers and Institutions
When it is time to sell or refine a collection, discretion and strategic timing are paramount. I provide honest, current market valuations and advise on the most advantageous channels for sale, whether through a quiet private treaty or a public auction. By maintaining a robust network of active, qualified collectors, I can often place significant works privately, maximizing your return while maintaining strict confidentiality.
How the Process Works
It begins with a conversation. There are no rigid programs or minimum commitments. We discuss your objectives, your budget, and your aesthetic preferences. Once I understand what you are looking to achieve, I actively monitor the market on your behalf, presenting only the opportunities that align perfectly with your collection's trajectory.
I do not manage large-scale philanthropic planning or coordinate museum loans. My focus is singular and straightforward: I help people buy and sell exceptional art. If you are ready to acquire a new piece, or if you are considering selling a work from your collection, reach out. We will start with a simple, direct conversation about your goals.
