ESTATE PLANNING
As art collectors ourselves, we understand the intricate balance between emotional motivation and investment opportunity when it comes to your collection. Regardless of the size of your collection, estate planning is an essential step that empowers the collector to ensure that their vision will endure in the long term.
Our key to succession planning of a collection is—first and foremost—to understand the collector’s vision and wishes. From there, we craft provisions and mechanisms to guarantee fairness, avoid family disputes, and protect beneficiaries from unexpected taxes and the tasks that come along with managing a collection.
COLLECTION MANAGEMENT
Regardless of what you have in storage or hanging on your walls, we will make sure that your entire art collection is beautifully taken care of and managed. Partnering with the best in their fields, we manage all aspects of the logistics of your collection—including but not limited to storage, transportation, conservation, insurance, appraisals, authentication, and institutional loan management.
