Servicing the studios of artists and the estates of artists in the management, cataloguing, and promotion of their art and the stewardship of their legacies.
the Studio
For emerging and established artists, we provide thorough consultation and full management for all levels of the artist’s career, including inventory management, strategic planning, promotion, and marketing. We offer vetted advice regarding licensing, contracts, and agreements. We pride ourselves on connecting artists and their work with art world professionals including curators, galleries, institutions, and collectors.
The estate
For estates, we provide thoughtful and effective stewardship plans for furthering the artist's legacy. Through inventory management and active engagement with the archive, we promote the artist's work and ideas. We empower heirs with strategies to keep the work in the public eye and design a research-based digital presence. We also aid with appraisals and oversee the development, implementation, and execution of catalogue raisonné projects.
“As an entity that exists in the space between the artist’s studio and the marketplace, our focus is placed on the preservation of art and the promotion of its maker.”
— Jason Andrew, Founding Partner
