I advise private clients in building collections of modern and contemporary art, identifying opportunities for purchase, both privately and at auction. Daily analysis of the art market gives me a clear sense of market trajectories, timing, and best practices for acquiring art. My background as an art historian allows me to situate contemporary art within a larger historical context, and to bring that insight to collection building.
I also assist my clients in selling works, both at auction and in private sales, identifying sales venues that maximize profitability and efficiency, and negotiating favorable terms. My longstanding relationships with auction houses and dealers enable me to achieve strong results for my selling clients.
I have advised private clients on transactions involving a range of artists, from notable postwar figures such as Romare Bearden, Willem de Kooning, Ben Enwonwu, Sam Gilliam, James Rosenquist, and Andy Warhol to leading contemporary artists such as Tunji Adeniyi-Jones, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Njideka Akunyili-Crosby, Eddie Martinez, Danielle Mckinney, Elizabeth Peyton, and Zhang Enli to more newly emerging artists such as Heather Day, Yuan Fang, Julia Jo, and Collins Objiaku.
