It is always a privilege when a private collector requests me to assess his/her carefully over years gathered treasures. Not only do I have access to viewing rarely seen art works and antiquities at their residence, in most cases I meet the owner/s. This provides me with an opportunity to engage, to converse and to attain a glimpse into their lives.
I have come across collections which were inherited and passed on to family members with new acquisitions added as well as collections that commenced from desire and a passion for art. Often collections narrate personal stories, family history and reflect the taste and interests of the collector.
My range of integrated services allows me to provide collectors with advice on the development of a coherent and meaningful acquisition-collection policy as well as managing their collections to current museum standards
