Art Advisory
There are increasingly fewer collectors who buy purely for passion. Almost everyone wishes to combine aesthetic pleasure with an economic gain, so nothing should be left to chance.
In fact, before making a purchase, due diligence of the work needs to be carried out, with regard to legalities, such as authenticity, provenance, proof of ownership and transfer arrangements.
Art represents a useful alternative asset diversification, where it is primarily information and expertise that outweigh the competition.
On a global scale, despite being an illiquid market, art is steadily holding its own compared to the real estate market. This trend has been consolidating over the last 15 years and does not appear to show any sign of reversing.
This is not a mere passion
Collecting art is not just a passion, but a real business. Each asset of artistic heritage is established over time and at great sacrifice, often collected over several generations. This is why sound strategies are of paramount importance: investing in valuable works of art without selling them off in the short term is just one of many best practices. Together with our team of art historians, you can start your own art collection, or curate and enrich an existing one. We will guide you through all the stages of the purchase and sale process.
Starting an Art Collection
Rotvogel collaborates with a limited number of independent art experts, specialised in starting art collections. Our experience in the art market enables us to provide personalised appraisals of all your works of art.
Services include the personalised creation of a private or corporate collection. More specifically,
we focus on the following:
Packages:
there are several advantages to having works of art in an office space, studio, hotel or restaurant. We provide various service packages to help you create a creative and positive working or living environment that represents your values and corporate identity.
Appraisal:
we estimate the market value of your works of art with a view to selling them, with the highest level of confidentiality, for insurance or tax planning purposes.
Credit lines:
thanks to our business relations with several partner banks, we can assess the feasibility of activating credit lines guaranteed by your art collections.
Providing art advisory services is a serious matter
An art advisor is an extremely competent professional figure.
Unlike a mere pundit, his/her choices should not be dictated simply by aesthetic preference, but by the possible re-appraisal of the value that work of art will have over time.
The art advisor must establish a relationship of trust with the customer, analyse his/her needs and tastes, and be able to impartially assess the relationship between supply and demand.
Furthermore, a good art advisor accompanies the customer to museums, auctions, trade fairs and international events; he/she can instruct him/her on new trends and provide art history lessons.
