Collecting

Good collections showcase distinct aesthetics and singular artworks which define a movement or an artist’s career. Great collections introduce entirely new value as a whole, establishing fresh connections and narratives. Navigating the intricate dynamics of the art world, cultivating relationships with artists and curators, selecting artworks and negotiating with galleries require an extensive network and in-depth knowledge of the art and its market.
