Art Advisory
CultureMe uses its experience and art world connections to give collectors access to the most desirable artworks. We build financial value for the collector by sourcing and negotiating the best prices.
What is an art advisor?
By definition, an art advisor is a connoisseur with the eye and knowledge to guide you to buying art that you love which will also make sense as an investment. Sotheby says an advisor is usually someone who “has held positions at an art gallery, a museum, an auction house, or another art institution or has received substantive education about art history and the art market”.
A good art advisor is someone who will look at the broad state of the art market before advising clients. Many will agree that someone skilled knows not only how to deliver what was asked of them but also how to challenge a client’s thinking so as to help tastes evolve.

What does an art advisor do?
Being an art advisor is a full-time job, CultureMe will usually provide clients with a “wall-to-wall, nail-to-nail service”. What this means is that we will not only bring an “aesthetic and intellectual education”, but also arrange logistics.
Our work is quite hands-on, we are tasked with getting investors away from the office and putting them in front of the artwork. We target a series of museums and gallery exhibitions to visit with the clients and then continue the process by accompanying our clients to international art fairs and auction previews.
An art purchase is considerably different from that of a financial investment product. It takes courage for an art investor to dare an alternative investment.
Our clients do not consider themselves to be art collectors but are also not looking at it as an investment. It’s both – it’s an artist that they respond to and feel excited to own but is also a good investment for the future when they might need to sell.
