We source the finest works of art directly from private collections and institutions through our longstanding and trusted relationships in the art world. We also search works of art through international galleries, fairs and auctions.

For each work of art taken care of, we provide thorough cataloguing including provenance, exhibition and literature, based on the invaluable resources of our in-house library and our independent expertise.

Using our knowledge of the art market, we guide and assist you in your acquisitions and sales. We also coordinate all logistics including insurance and condition reports, framing, packing, shipping, delivery and on-site installation.
