Advisory

Help buying, valuing, and planning a collection

This is a person, not a product. Tell an advisor your budget, your timeframe, and the work you are drawn to. They come back with specific pieces to consider and a written view on price, from the same data as the public index.

Who this is for

You do not need a reason to call. But here is when people usually do.

Starting out

You want a plan, not a pile of impulse buys.

Spreading the risk

You already own work and you are leaning too hard on one artist or one market.

Planning ahead

You are getting a collection in order for the long term: what it is worth, what is documented, what to keep.

How it works

Start to finish, it is four steps.
  1. 1. Conversation. An advisor asks about your budget, your timeframe, and what you actually like. On a call, not a form.
  2. 2. A shortlist. You get a handful of works to consider, chosen for fit. We weigh how solid each artist's market is against how often their work actually turns up for sale.
  3. 3. Review. Someone else on the team checks the shortlist before it reaches you. The same review every number on this site gets.
  4. 4. Delivery. A written proposal lands in your inbox. Every price is a range with a note on how sure we are. No single headline figure.
