ADVICE, INVENTORIES AND GENERAL APPRAISALS

The art market, whether ancient, modern, or contemporary, extending to furniture and sophisticated valuables, constitutes a mature market of clear assets. The difficulty for the simple amateur, and even more so for a neophyte, is that it is composed of a very large number of artists and creators whose market values, techniques, and trajectories require not only years of research to evaluate and authenticate but also abundant documentation and extensive experience that only our experts can provide to satisfy them. Galleries are ever-increasing in number, fairs are multiplying and attracting large audiences, and current events are becoming so dense that the volumes and values of works for sale and purchase are experiencing exponential growth; it is therefore more necessary than ever to be well-advised when buying or selling in order to benefit from expert guidance. The art market holds undeniable interest. It offers clear wealth management perspectives, but as it develops, it demands increasingly specialized expertise and vigilance. Our generalist experts act as buyer-advisors on behalf of clients, galleries, and institutions wishing to appraise the work of an artist or any other specific art object (originals and multiples), and also as seller-advisors defining the strategy adapted to the client's objectives and the content of their collection via the appropriate resale networks: private sales, galleries, or auctions. Thanks to a permanent and highly specialized analysis of the French and international markets, a perfect mastery of its interpretation keys, and an in-depth knowledge of the value of the players in this ecosystem, it is possible to evaluate opportunities. This analysis follows scientific analyses, the rigorous description of the objects presented, and the confirmation of their condition and the artists' market value. The generalist expert places the authentic object within its era, a category, and potentially a context that requires in-depth knowledge; they recognize its value and advise on its sale, purchase, or entry into a collection. They document and carry out inheritance inventories and collection inventories more generally. They help to break down the barriers between highly specialized fields of expertise and can advise a contemporary artist, a gallery, or an institution in the preparation of a CATALOGUE RAISONNÉ.
