Independent representation and advisory across fine art and digital art — conducted with the discretion, rigor, and patience that significant work deserves.
Begin a Conversation →“We do not list works. We represent them.
Two verticals, one standard of representation. We decline mandates outside that scope — however compelling the asset — because focus is the only compounding advantage a boutique has.
Every mandate is agreed in writing before any work is presented. No verbal commitments, no undocumented decisions. If it cannot be written down, it does not happen.
An artist's market is built over years, not cycles. We favour placements that strengthen a body of work over time — generational horizon, not quick turnover. Speed is rarely a virtue in representation — clarity is.
We do not disclose counterparties, mandate structures, or principals — publicly or privately. Confidentiality is enforced contractually from the first exchange and never expires.
Independent representation of artists, collectors, and estates in the private sale of significant works. Advisory across acquisition strategy, intellectual property and licensing structure, and the long-term positioning of culturally important works.
Primary representation of digital artists — building market, structuring sales, and placing works with serious collectors and institutions. Advisory on how digital works and their rights are documented, authenticated, and transferred to the buyer.
Fine art and digital art — classical and emerging — represented under one standard of care and documentation.
Price, buyer, channel, and signature are never decided by the firm. We present, negotiate, and advise.
Sale proceeds flow between buyer, auction house or escrow, and the owner — never through the firm.
Offers are never filtered or withheld. Any third-party fees are shown before a decision is made.
Enforced contractually and operationally. Counterparties and principals are never disclosed.
No verbal commitments. Scope, term, exclusivity, and compensation are documented before anything is presented.
For every work that reaches a saleroom under the hammer, several more move in confidence — artist to collector, estate to foundation. The private sale is where significant collections are actually built, and where discretion remains the dominant currency.
A marketplace is not a market. True value in digital art is built through deliberate placement — collector by collector, exhibition by exhibition. The role of a primary representative is not to list, but to construct the context in which the work matters.
The boutique's only edge over scale is the discipline to decline. Every mandate taken outside the thesis dilutes the ones taken inside it. Narrow, by design, is how we compound judgment over years rather than fragment it across trends.
A private conversation to understand objectives, horizons, and constraints. Full confidentiality from the first exchange.
A written agreement covering scope, exclusivity, term, and compensation — and the decisions that remain the principal's alone.
Provenance, rights review, and a presentation dossier — nothing reaches a third party without the principal's approval.
Approaches to the right auction houses, galleries, and collectors. Every proposal is forwarded in writing — the principal decides.
Each mandate is bespoke. Compensation is agreed in writing before engagement and can take the form of advisory retainer, success fee on execution, or a combination tailored to the mandate. We do not accept undisclosed commissions from third parties.
There is no fixed minimum. We take on a small number of mandates at a time, so that each one receives our full attention — usually when the significance of the work or the complexity of the sale calls for dedicated representation.
We represent one principal per mandate. Where a potential conflict exists, it is disclosed in writing at the earliest opportunity and the principal's written consent is obtained before proceeding, or the engagement is declined.
For a significant work, from first mandate to closed settlement, the process generally runs three to nine months. Timeline is driven by provenance, pricing calibration, counterparty discovery, and the time required for a serious buyer to complete due diligence.
