services
we offer

We work closely as advisors on all things art – from developing a tailored institutional vision to strategic collecting plans, legacy building for the future, acquiring for new collections and refining existing ones.

Specializing in collections management, we offer cataloguing and collection database; coordination and oversight of shipping, framing, installation, storage, and conservation.

Research is our first love, and we incorporate it in all our services, whether it is exhibition research and curation, creating an archive, or designing and publishing a catalogue.

We offer appraisals and valuation for purposes of insurance, fair market value, collateral loans and auction estimates.

Strategy gets our intellectual juices flowing. Be it operating models, business models, governance structure, advice on architectural & space planning, or roster planning & audience assessment.

Talk to us & we’re happy to work with you on a tailor made project!
