Working with Powell Fine Art Advisory

Through our established relationships with artists, curators, non-profits and other art institutions, we ensure access to the highest quality works. We regularly survey private collections, fairs, auctions, galleries, artists' studios, art schools and other outlets in order to educate and guide client purchases. We are pleased to work with individual collectors, corporations, architects and interior designers on the following services:

Art Consulting & Advisory

Clients hire us to assist them in finding the perfect work of art for their home or office. We handle all aspects of the transaction, from vetting works of art to negotiating terms and discounts. We also identify under-valued artists and emerging talent, facilitating relationships among artists, curators, and dealers and commission new works.

Fine Art Sales

When deciding to sell a work of art or an entire collection, we help our clients identify the most advantageous venues to sell. Streamlining what can be a complex process, we assist in appraisal coordination, prepare a sales strategy and negotiate for competitive terms and marketing to ensure our client has the best possible sales outcome.

Framing & Installation

Finding the perfect frame and having your artwork professionally installed are the final steps in ensuring that your artwork is presented in the best way possible, both aesthetically and from a conservation and safety stand point.

Collection Management

We take a personalized approach to our client’s collection management needs. This includes cataloging and photographing all works, assisting in appraisals, loans, condition reports, insurance, storage, conservation and shipping logistics.

Shipping COORDINATION

Finding the best art transport solution can be timely, expensive and confusing. We streamline shipping coordination by working with insured fine art shippers.

Artist STudio & Gallery Visits

Visiting the artist in the studio is one of the best ways to understand their art-making practice. We coordinate studio visits with clients who are interested in learning more about an artist. We also schedule visits to galleries to view the exhibition and other relevant artwork available.

Art Fair Tours

We travel with clients to all the major art fairs, providing VIP access to the fair and putting together fair itineraries in order to best navigate the art fair to meet the client’s needs. This includes arranging meetings with gallerists during the fair and receiving fair previews ahead of the event.

Philanthopic Advisory

We work with clients to understand their philanthropic interests and connect them with institutions whose programs and missions are best aligned with their goals. We negotiate museum and other institutional loans, donations, or private resale/deaccessions.
