how we help private client and aspiring collectors in finding their personal art piece
WHY – COLLECT CONTEMPORARY ART & WHY DOING THIS WITH AN ART CONSULTANT?
“I do not invest in art as a financial asset. Art is an investment in the quality of life. “(…)” Art is there to stimulate our minds and question our ways of thinking and not to be another investment! “- (Francesca von Habsburg, from Adam Lindemann, collecting contemporary art, Taschen 2006, p. 169)
Art consultants play a key role in the current art market since we do not only help our clients in acquiring contemporary art for their home or office – we also take care of the entire process from sourcing, acquisition, negotiations, logistic, insurance and installation on site.
