We advise private clients, corporations and estates on the best options when selling a single work of art or an entire collection, helping them choose the right time, method and venue. Selling fine art can be a deeply personal experience, which is why we approach every sale with the utmost care, professionalism, and discretion. Our goal is to make the process as smooth and rewarding as possible, ensuring that you feel confident and informed every step of the way.

Fine Art Brokers is pleased to provide provisional estimates by phone or email and then discuss possible avenues for selling fine art. We are always transparent and keep discussions confidential. We have brokered deals between private clients; sold pieces at art fairs as exhibitors; consigned works to other dealers; and negotiated favorable terms at auction.

In addition to providing provisional estimates, we offer tailored advice on the best sales strategy for your specific needs. Whether we negotiate a private sale, advise on consigning to auction, we carefully evaluate all options to determine the most advantageous path. Our team conducts thorough due diligence, including researching provenance, verifying authenticity, and assessing the condition of your artwork to ensure it’s positioned for maximum value. 

We have also helped public organizations and corporate clients sell entire art collections that are for sale and have worked with trustees to maximize proceeds for an estate. Our team combines decades of experience with a deep understanding of the art market to ensure you receive the value that your pieces deserve. Whether you’re selling a single cherished piece or an entire collection, we tailor our approach to meet your unique needs and goals. For clients with larger collections, we provide comprehensive collection management services, including cataloging, valuation, and strategic planning for phased sales.
