ADVISORY SERVICES

A frequently heard recommendation is to “buy with your heart, and not with your head.” While visceral, emotional responses to works of art are the best starting point, decisions should be supported with answers to these questions: Who is this artist, where does this work fit in his oeuvre, and why is it worth what is being asked? What is its condition, and are there market trends to be considered? These are all very important considerations.

Whether a new or experienced collector, the advice of a qualified advisor is invaluable to this process. It is the extra step that results in secure decisions, and more successful, long-term satisfaction.
