Art Buying Consultants
We offer assistance to private and corporate clients through every aspect of the buying process. We work at all price levels and with new and seasoned collectors. Consultations are complimentary and we only charge a commission if a purchase is made.
We sourced and advised on this painting at an auction, and after bidding successfully for him we arranged shipping and installation in New York, and then moved it to another residence in Florida.
We advised a new collector who is amassing a large collection of art by young emerging artists. We found this work, by an artist we know, at an art fair in Miami.
Working with our art buying experts demystifies the buying process, protects you from costly mistakes, and gives you the confidence to make informed decisions.
When making purchase suggestions in buying fine art we advise on market trends, relative value, and, of course, quality. While we rarely advise clients to buy art with investment as the primary objective, we do help them make wise decisions.
We use our global network to source art whether from private collectors, dealers or at auction. We provide recommendations, market reports and research as well as advising on authentications and licenses. Our team also stays ahead of market developments, offering insight into emerging artists and trends that align with your interests. Whether you’re acquiring your first piece or adding to an established collection, we tailor our services to your unique aesthetics and preferences.
We can negotiate discreetly on behalf of the client and also offer a comprehensive range of auction services, which includes private bidding.
Our commissions are much lower than the industry standard and are very fair.
Fine Art Brokers learnt that a major museum, owned by a corporation, was looking to deaccession works. We travelled to view and negotiated the purchase of two major pieces. This work has since been shown at The Metropolitan Museum in New York and the National Gallery in London.
We travel to the world’s leading art fairs
TEFAF in New York and Maastricht, Art Basel and Art Basel Miami, The Armory in New York, FIAC and the Biennale in Paris. We often walk with clients, introducing them to dealers and developing their knowledge.
While we spend a lot of time conducting research for our clients, there is nothing more valuable than seeing an artwork in person. Many of our clients are not able to view works themselves and rely on us to give accurate assessments of market value.
With our expertise and dedication, our art buying advisors aim to make every acquisition a seamless, rewarding experience. Let our fine art experts help you find the perfect piece to enrich your collection. Whether you’re exploring contemporary art, Old Masters, or emerging artists, our team is here to provide the expertise and access you need to build a collection that’s both meaningful and valuable.
We helped a client buy this in 2000 and sell it again in 2007 for a gross profit of $14.3m. When buying, our client wasn’t able to view the work personally, and so we were his eyes and his liaison with specialists for inside information. He trusted our opinion and valuation. We urged him to take advantage of market conditions seven years later and helped him obtain an auction guarantee. The $21.8m sale price was a world record for the artists for a short time.
“I was impressed by Ray’s willingness to educate and guide me, and yet leave me free to make my own decisions. He is a man of integrity with good buying sources and with a good team around him.”
