About

SML is widely recognised as the leading specialist in art world search

A GLOBAL TEAM

Founded in 2002, SML was the first search firm to specialise in art world recruitment. Our long-standing relationships make us unique.

We are proud to be trusted advisors to leading arts institutions around the world and proud to be confidential career advisors to many of its leading players. Our reach is global; our service is personal.

Based in London and New York, we have been at the heart of the scene for nearly twenty years working on important assignments across the United States, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. It’s been an incredible adventure.

OUR TEAM

EXPERTISE

In the environment in which organisations now operate traditional leadership roles are adapting and new ones emerging. Markets are evolving, collectors are developing, as are geographies, and the role of arts institutions as cultural phenomena continues to build. Within this complexity and dynamism, business and public institutions need to deliver to plan and strategize for the future.

The industry in which we specialise becomes more global with every passing year as galleries, dealers, museums and art fairs expand into new geographies and collectors and curators travel the world in search of new art-related experiences.

As the market grows, so does our reach with our network and expertise stretching into Asia, the West Coast, South America and the Middle East.

Our success is borne of longstanding, meaningful relationships. Testament to this is the large percentage of our work that comes from repeat business. We have always believed that boutique is beautiful, combining a personal touch with professional service standards.
