Acquisitions
Acquisition Advisory
Representing collectors seeking important works in the international market.
A buyer mandate, precisely defined.
A mandate sets out what a collector is seeking: artists, periods, quality, budget, timeline and geography. It allows us to search deliberately rather than react to what happens to be publicly offered.
We then work across public and private channels, approach owners where appropriate, and negotiate on your behalf — with independent specialists engaged for due diligence.
Capabilities
Identification
Identifying works that meet the mandate across period, quality, provenance and price.
Public & Private Sourcing
Monitoring auction, dealer and private channels for suitable opportunities.
Owner Approaches
Discreet approaches to owners, dealers and galleries where a work is not openly available.
Price Negotiation
Negotiating price and terms on the collector's behalf.
Market Research
Comparable analysis and market context to inform a considered decision.
Specialist Due Diligence
Coordination of independent condition, provenance and title enquiries.
Confidential
Buyer mandate.
Submitted mandates are held confidentially and reviewed by a member of the team.
