BESPOKE ADVICE
Do you need someone to help guide you in the best direction? Many factors in the art world including accessibility and prices are opaque. Figures are constantly shifting and generally not easy to obtain.
That’s where I come in.
If you’ve ever felt uncertain about how art is valued, unsure about acquiring a work you’re considering or concerned that you may be getting misled, my bespoke advice service has been strategically built for you.
My aim is to provide you with strategic and one on one advice no matter the project you have in mind, as well as being someone you can easily receive informed advice from when you are not too sure. Be it via a call, text or email, you’ll be able to easily reach me to bring you clarity when you need it– whether that be in relation to an artist, project or a particular work you are considering to acquire or sell.
This service includes detailed responses that are backed up by data and well researched information that is intended to help you save time and money in the long-run. I always try to give as much added-value as I can by sharing several market projections, historical references and personal insights. The bespoke advice service has become a way for several collectors I work with to achieve their goals whilst learning more about exciting artists and collecting in an engaging and straightforward way.

ACQUISITIONS
I will always encourage you to buy what you love, but we can’t ignore that art can be a sound investment too. I believe you can have both a work of art that you love, and one that is a good financial investment. That’s my goal for you, with every piece we consider.
Keeping up with the large number of biennales, art fairs and gallery shows, as well as studio visits and constant research enables me to identify and introduce you to some of the most compelling artists whose works I believe will retain and grow in importance and value.
My approach is straightforward and unbiased. Data, as well as my well-rounded experience of the market stand behind all of the information I provide you. Including: fair market prices, overviews of artist’s markets, trajectories and future projections.
Depending on your main interests, throughout the acquisition process, I can help you by:
• Identifying a range of established, mid-career or quickly emerging artists whose significance I see growing in the following years, along with their value
• Showing you artists and artworks aligned with your collection, taste, goals and values
• Distinguishing rare, as well as the most representative works by each artist
• Getting reliable points of access to works of art within the primary or secondary market
• Determining fair market prices, so you’re able to carry through transparent, clear, and financially sound purchases
• Negotiating the best possible price and payment terms on your behalf
Additionally, for a secondary market acquisition, I’ll be able to provide you with all of the above, as well as:
• A thorough analysis of all aspects of the artwork, including condition reports, trustworthy provenance records and exhibition history

COLLECTION MANAGEMENT
The more you know about each of your works of art, the more informed your decisions can become. Through the insights I'll provide, your works will have a better chance of maintaining their value, and in many cases will gain value over time.
First I’ll help you by creating a full inventory of your collection. This will not only guarantee that you can be fully aware of what you have, but that your collection is properly documented and all the information is up-to-date. In this way, you’ll be optimizing the ways in which you can look after them.
Secondly, by cataloguing your artworks, I’ll make sure all relevant information is present. This takes into account: provenance, authenticity, condition assessment, exhibition history, invoices and shipping documents. I will organize all of this information, as well as analyze each of your works’ placements, current locations and material properties. All with the aim of identifying key conservation actions that can help preserve your works of art and help maintain their value as a result.
Additionally, I’m able to support you by developing a current contextualization and curatorial proposal of your works, arranging up to date valuations and organizing loans of your collection to museums and institutions.
If you’d like to make the most out of your collection get in touch with me today.
