YOUR STARTING POINT

What would you like to explore?

Individual works

Review the artist, medium, dimensions, condition, provenance and available documentation.

A CONSIDERED PURCHASE

We help you compare the opportunity and confirm the important details before proceeding.

Details to assess for art
The workArtist, title, date, medium, size and, for editions, the edition details.
EvidenceProvenance, ownership, authenticity evidence and condition reports where available.
The priceComparable works, condition and sale terms; individual artworks are not interchangeable.
OwnershipSpecialist handling, insurance, storage, installation and any destination documentation.
Future salePossible buyers, resale route, commissions and the time needed to find a suitable buyer.

THE TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP

Look beyond the asking price.

01

Buying

The quoted price, commissions or fees and applicable taxes.

02

Owning

Insurance, specialist storage, framing or installation, and conservation where required.

03

Selling

Selling commissions, condition assessment, specialist transport and relevant documentation.

Ask for an itemised quote and written terms. Services, providers and charges depend on the asset and the arrangements you choose.

HISTORY WITH CONTEXT

Explore the evidence.

Our brochure presents documented Monet and Picasso repeat auction sales, clearly labelled as exceptional individual examples rather than market-wide returns.

ART QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions.

What does blue-chip art mean here?

It refers to established artists with recognised collector and auction histories. It does not mean a work is guaranteed to hold its value or sell quickly.

Are the Monet and Picasso examples representative returns?

No. The brochure shows selected successful repeat auction sales of two exceptional works. They are not an art market index or net investor returns.

Can you help with delivery and a later sale?

We help coordinate specialist handling, storage, insurance and delivery, and assist with assessing pricing and sourcing buyers when you wish to sell.
