About
Built Around Private Transactions.
Discreet. Global. Connected.
A simple principle.
The Private Art Office was established around a simple principle: significant art transactions require more than exposure. They require access, trust, discretion and disciplined negotiation.
We work with collectors, owners and professional advisers to facilitate private art transactions internationally.
Values
Discretion
Information is shared deliberately, with those who need it, when they need it.
Integrity
Clear terms, honest counsel and no pressure to transact.
Access
Relationships across collectors, dealers, galleries, institutions and advisers.
Execution
Careful management of a transaction from mandate to completion.
Our Network
Specialists, engaged where required.
A private transaction rarely involves only two parties. Depending on the work, a transaction may involve specialist galleries, dealers, auction houses, lawyers, insurers, logistics providers, conservators, provenance researchers and other independent professionals.
We coordinate those relationships on behalf of our clients. Independent specialist advisers may be engaged where appropriate; their advice remains their own.
