No. Visits are exploratory and advisory.
What budget is appropriate to start collecting?
It depends on the artist, medium, and objectives. We can propose meaningful options across different price ranges, from 1 000 € and up to 6- and 7-digit prices.
Do you work with international clients?
Yes. We work with collectors from all around the world, and can ship the art to wherever the collector is based. We organise visits in our Paris showroom, as well as digital viewings.
Do you advise on investment?
