Working quietly with a small group of European and North-American collectors on long-form acquisitions, collection strategy, and primary-market introductions.
The practice is intentionally small. Each engagement begins with a long conversation about what already lives in the collection, where it is heading over the next ten years, and the kinds of artists worth following — not transacting — for a season.
Acquisitions are pursued on a fee-only basis with full disclosure of commission structure on the gallery side. The practice does not maintain inventory and is not affiliated with any gallery, auction house, or institutional client.
Discreet outreach to galleries on the client's behalf, brief preparation, and viewing logistics during fairs and exhibitions.
Long-form review of an existing collection — strengths, gaps, narrative cohesion — followed by a five-year acquisition plan.
Independent verification of provenance, condition, and pricing for works under consideration on the secondary market.
On-the-ground attendance at Frieze, Art Basel, and selected institutional previews on behalf of clients unable to be present.
