About Artelier Art Advisory

Artelier is an international team of art advisors offering expertise in art market research, investment guidance, contemporary art commissioning, project management, framing, and installation.

 

For twenty years, Artelier’s team of art advisors and art curators has been dedicated to curating outstanding art for a diverse range of private and corporate clients.

Contemporary Artwork Commissioning

With access to some of the most exciting emerging artists working today, Artelier's team of art advisors can create a completely bespoke artwork solution for your needs. Over the years we have built a reputation for commissioning contemporary art in all kinds of medium including photography, prints, sculpture, drawing and painting. 

Working with a senior art curator we will typically start the conversation by finding out what type of project you are working on, whether a private residence or large commercial enterprise. Once we have an understanding of the project scope, as well as your goals, interests and aesthetic we will then prepare an initial proposal. Our team of dedicated art advisors will work with you at every step of the process, providing regular updates while overseeing the art commissioning process.

Navigating The Art World

If you are looking to have a better understanding of the art market, or perhaps are seeking advice on growing an existing art collection, a private tour may be a great option. A senior curator can walk you around art fairs, auctions, galleries, museums, and private dealers in order to educate on a particular artist or art movement as well as give you access to private sales.


Each tour is expertly led, and can be completely tailored to your needs and interests. We can provide guidance on select pieces, assistance in working with art dealers as well as education on the type of art you may be looking to invest in.

International shipping & logistics

We understand that shipping at times fragile artwork internationally can be a complex process that requires expertise.

Artelier's shipping and logistics department has expert knowledge in arranging delivery and transportation as well as final installation. We have shipped everything from fragile glass artworks to oversized ceramic wall installations, oil paintings, large sculptures and everything in-between.

What is an Art Advisor?

"The role of an art advisor can be as versatile as the client's needs, whether that be to acquire a piece of art history, or to curate a complete collection of 200+ artworks for a new hotel resort.

 

Every art advisory will have their area of specialism, however in general most art advisors will be working closely with both private and corporate clients to curate contemporary art collections.  A client may be interested in finding the perfect artist or set of paintings for their home interior, or be looking for help in navigating the art market."
