INDIVIDUAL ART ADVISING
As an experienced expert in the art market, I offer a wide range of independent consulting and services in the field of dealing with art and building a collection.
It does not matter whether you are just starting to collect art, planning to refocus or expand a substantiated collection, or making your first investments. Because regardless of individual goals, comprehensive, experienced, and continuous advice is crucial.
As a consultant, I am an objective advocate who works exclusively in the best and individual interest of my clients, regardless of whether it is the purchase or sale of a single work of art or a larger collection.
EXPERTISE AND NETWORK
As the former director of two internationally operating galleries, I have extensive expertise and many years of experience in the art market and its complex relationships.
In addition, I have access to a broad network of leading and internationally operating key players in the art market, such as gallery owners, curators, artists, restorers, auction houses, art insurers and specialists.
I incorporate you into this network and at the same time offer you strategic advice and guidance. It is important to me to make the art world transparent for you and to help you find your way through the complex web of relationships and platforms.
With in-depth knowledge of the industry, I am able to help collectors acquire significant artworks from both established and emerging artists.
MARKET AND VALUATION
Prior to the acquisition of an artwork, I advise you comprehensively on the estimation of its value and, in the light of developments in the art market, regularly re-evaluate the works in order to be able to survey opportunities and risks for value preservation or optimal capitalization.
Although art is not merely a financial instrument, but an aesthetic endeavor and a form of intellectual expression, it is, considering the astonishingly high sums involved, another form of asset allocation.
Regardless of individual financial goals, it is essential to have solid and professional advice. Thereby, access to comprehensive information is fundamental, because it means access to the best works in the best conditions.
COLLECTION MANAGEMENT
Trust and discretion are at the core of this working relationship, which is always kept transparent and confidential.
Whether your situation involves a company or a private collection, I am available to support you in all aspects of buying, selling, or building a collection: from archiving and documentation to transport, insurance, storage, framing, installation, and conservation.
I can assist you with institutional loans, donations, or private sales and acquisitions. Furthermore, I am familiar with legal issues such as resale rights, authentication and estate planning and have contacts to specialized lawyers and tax advisors.
STRATEGIC CONSULTING
Trust and discretion are at the core of this working relationship, which is always kept transparent and confidential
Together with my clients, I develop and design strategies, solutions and implement steps that, with my precise view from the outside, are tailored to the company and its individual goals.
My consulting work can be continuous, project-related or occasional and is based on respect, authenticity and sincerity. As an empathetic and at the same time passionate strategist, I advise both small and large commercial galleries, foundations or companies in the international art market on the transformation or innovation of business models.
My work process is always solution-oriented and characterized by a high degree of empathy as well as analytical vision. Discretion is my highest priority.
