How we work

Prior to your arrival, we connect via email or video conference to understand what you are looking for: type of artwork (painting, sculpture, drawing, digital art,…), style; to understand how this fits with your previous acquisitions, of course the approximate size for the work/s… and your budget!

We will present you an online selection of proposed artworks and you let us know the artists you like the most. Then we contact the galleries or artists to know the available pieces for sale and we organize meetings to go see them in person the day of your visit.

You can choose to take the small works back with you or ask for us to arrange a shipment.
