Questions/Answers

No, on the contrary, our offer is aimed at a wide range of clients: some wish to be accompanied for a first acquisition or the building of a collection, others for the evaluation of one or more objects with a view to a sale, or for the insurance or transmission of a collection, or even for a philanthropic project in the world of the arts.

We are art bankers, not art experts. Our mission is to connect you to the art experts best matching your needs as we cannot replicate their expertise and infrastructures.
