Knowing 'what's it worth?' is not the only question in the sale, transfer, or donation of your valued family collection. 

 

Fine art [paintings, signed prints, sculptures] or heirloom antiques very often raise questions, especially without gallery sales documentation, or recent appraisals.

 

The acquisition and de-acquisition of personal art collections requires knowledgeable guidance and trust.  

 

Placement into the most advantageous hands [private dealers, gallerists, auction houses] is a deliberative process requiring personal understanding of objects, appropriate curatorial and expert certification, and vigilant representation. 

​

I have been a private advisor and consultant serving as the art advisor for over 30 years. With discretion, I have brokered and transacted the sale and distribution of over $25 million of fine art. 

 

This experience includes: 

 

* analysis and provenance research;

* technical, conservation and condition reports;

* representing estates in finding appropriate buyers for artworks;

* have supplied numerous connoisseurship, appraisal reports to

leading international and regional auction houses; 

* have negotiated acquisition of major artworks from international and 

national art galleries, private dealers, and estate representatives; 

* have directed major sales of estates with research for full transparency. 

* have written letters for museum, not-for-profit donations and gifts as good faith appraisals;

* offered guidance, expert transfer of fine arts, antiques and decorative objects for maximum valuations.
