About

Over nearly two decades I have been fortunate enough to witness the expansion of the global art market and to work with the individuals who have shaped this industry.

The insights gleaned from these relationships have taught me that successful unions are as much a matter of character and drive as of experience and knowledge.

I started this business in my parent’s garage. We now have teams of talented people in London and New York. I am proud however that the business still retains the feeling of the early days, like an ever-extending family.

The business is borne of longstanding relationships, as testified by the repeat business we undertake to help our clients strengthen core teams, move into new territories or expand regional offices in response to changing market dynamics.

Should you wish to discuss your plans and the team you are building, please do get in touch. We would be delighted to help.
