We are an international advisory with consultants and art experts located in global art capitals including New York, London, Paris and Seoul. Our aim is to provide an informative and comprehensive guidance for our clients in selecting artwork(s) or building private collections for residences, corporations or public environments–tailored to specific interest or goals of each collector or collection. We work on all aspects of the collecting process including research, identifying and accessing artworks, negotiating acquisitions, curating, framing, installations, deaccessions and collection management.
