Art Acquisition
Let's take your space from dull to dynamic
Specializing in aesthetic consultation & display of art/art collections. As a collections manager, I help clients develop their art investments by identifying, sourcing and acquiring pieces appropriate to their tastes and budget. I can provide art acquisition, advisory, and aesthetics services, in addition to collection investment, development, and management services
If you are a home owner or you represent a corporation looking to build/elevate a collection, I can work with you to get a sense of what your tastes are and how you are looking to transform your space. With more then 20 years experience working with top galleries, museums, private collectors, designers, art consultants, architects, auction houses, and corporate collections, I have a large knowledge of how artwork can add to a space, keeping in mind things to avoid and directions to explore.
We could begin with a site visit or work off of floor plans and architectural renderings to understand your space, needs, and budget. This initial consultation helps me provide valuable insight into the style of the artwork that will refine what you are looking for including location, value, and type of artwork for your project. I have enjoyed collaborating with a spectrum of clients, from collectors and interior designers to developers and architects and art committees, and others involved with art purchases, and I am open to collaboration. We can work to integrate the art with other design elements on the project: mood boards, swatches, and fabric samples never hurt.
Most of my clients need just a couple of works of art to add in key locations in their existing collection, but some build up new collections. Once I have an understanding of what you are looking for, I can drawn upon a large variety of styles and media from a vast and growing community of artists and art resources. From black and white photography to evocative seascapes to modern abstract paintings and bold graphic posters, if we can't find the perfect pieces for your collection, we can commission original works specifically for your space. With this relationship we can assemble a collection for any style.
I regularly attend Art Basel Miami and visit other national art fairs and artist studios across the county to source new and exciting artwork.
Once we have collaborated on an art proposal, I can present pieces on site that give an idea of what art would look like in the space. I encourage everyone to share their thoughts and reactions before completing the purchase. This presentation is important in deciding the final layout.
Whether you know what you want to display or you are thinking about what to get, we can discuss what would look best in your space and work from there to get something not only visually striking, but also reflective of your mission.
