I believe that intimately experiencing great art on a daily basis opens up a world of thought and creativity. Through my work as an art advisor, I hope to share my passion with my clients, enriching or igniting a deep and personal relationship with visual art.
My expertise in auction bidding and twentieth-century work set me apart from other advisors, and I have in-depth secondary market experience and a trained connoisseurial eye to assess long-term value and quality. Buying art is both an aesthetic and financial decision, and I offer insightful, knowledgeable guidance on both.
In addition, through my almost twenty-five years in the art world and decade as an independent art advisor, I have deep gallery relationships and a strong reputation that help me to secure the most in-demand primary market pieces for my collectors.
