Curated Connoisseurship

Recognizing Quality

Connoisseurship appreciates distinction and commits irrespective of prevailing sentiment.

We have acquired more than 900 works by overlooked, underappreciated or out-of-favor artists and movements.

Relying on Experience

Confidence comes from experience and context – not incomplete data, trends, or biased advice.

91% of our acquisitions were made at substantial discounts or premiums relative to prevailing public market data.

Sourcing Independently

Discernment requires both the absence of conflicts of interests and an extensive global network

We have acquired artworks from approximately 200 distinct sources worldwide.

Evaluating Constantly

Curatorial rigor demands deep research, firsthand inspections, and ongoing probing conversations.

Each year we view tens of thousands of works in person around the world- across galleries, art fairs, and auction houses- to uncover works that meet our standards.
