Art Advisory

Quintessentially Art is not a gallery or auction house, which allows us the freedom to serve as an unbiased source of art advises for a diverse group of collectors. Primarily we focus on:

Individual collectors – Q Art will offer a bespoke service, based on the individual's interests and goals. We start out with an in-depth client meeting where:

• The primary goal is to find out the collector's interests, knowledge base and budget.
• At that meeting Q Art's representative will describe our services and capabilities, and explain in depth what we can provide.
• After the meeting Q Art sends a proposal to the client, with a specific program that would include collection timelines, options for collection management and educational programs.

Art as an asset class has proven to be a great long term store of capital, with long term growth, use as an inflationary hedge and low correlation to other assets being the primary benefits. Other benefits include the visual and emotional fulfillment from living with objects of beauty and intellectual stimulation.

Gary Krimershmoys, the Managing Director of Quintessentially Art, was quoted responding to why art as an asset, and particularly the Warhol market, has performed so well in a bad economic environment. "A company can always go bankrupt, but a Warhol will not," he explained. "It might go down in value, but it will never go to zero. It's transportable and will always carry a value.", The Independent on Sunday. Click here

Education

An integral part of art advisory is the educational and emotional aspect of working with art.

Even for experienced collectors, the breadth, globalized nature and complexity of the art establishment can be daunting. We also understands that some of the joy of art collecting is the social and educational aspects of the art-world.

Quintessentially Art can open up doors to private events, provide tours of museums and art fairs, and in the process contextualize the modern and contemporary art-world.

Opening up doors to private gallery events, auction houses, artist studios and art fairs, Q Art helps our clients navigate and integrate themselves into the fabric of the art world.

For our corporate clients we can offer educational tours for their employees or clients in the best art events in the world. Whether it is working with UBS to give their VIP clients educational tours of Art Basel Miami Beach or giving a talk at Art Palm Beach about collecting Russian contemporary art, we endeavor to provide a rounded, professional educational service for our clients.
