Collection and Art Advisory

One-to-one advice from a first work to a corporate collection

Collection and Art Advisory

Work selection, placement and collection strategy based on your budget and space.

3,500 TRY per hour (credited on purchase)

Art advisory is designed for everyone from those buying their first work to those growing a collection of dozens. Our advisers first listen to you: once your living space, budget, taste and expectations are clear, a tailor-made list of works is prepared.

How does the process work?

  • Introductory meeting (45 min): A map of taste and budget is drawn up; free of charge.
  • Work recommendation: A shortlist of 8-12 works is prepared with condition reports and price information.
  • Private viewing: The chosen works can be seen at the gallery or at your home.
  • Placement: Hanging, lighting and framing recommendations are given for the space.

Collection strategy

For long-term collections, a balance of theme, period and artist is set, and a roadmap reviewed each year is prepared. The advisory fee is not added to the price of a work; when a purchase is made, the advisory fee is credited against it.

Advisory is not investment advice; the value of artworks can change with market conditions.

For service details, pricing and available dates, you can book a meeting with our advisers from the appointments page or write to us through the contact form; your request is answered within one working day.

Every work is delivered with a provenance record, conservator's condition report and certificate of authenticity. Works whose authenticity is doubtful are not accepted for sale.
