STRATEGIC ART ADVISORY OVERVIEW

As Independent Art Advisors, we provide comprehensive art portfolio management across the financial aspects of acquiring, holding, and liquidating art.

The advice we provide is meant to:

• Reduce your cost of acquisition
• Identify artworks that will increase in value
• Increase the value of the art you own
• Reduce the cost of liquidating it
• Maximize how much the art will sell for

In addition to market fluctuations causing art to increase and decrease in value, at the 3 stages of acquiring, owning, and liquidating, art is subject to a variety of high taxes (in many jurisdictions), substantial expenses, and high fees. For this reason, we examine and present options for tax optimization, estate planning, and wealth transfer strategies that minimize or eliminate taxes and reduce expenses and fees.

We consider that all artworks in a collection should contribute to increasing its value, and that those that are not ascending in value should be liquidated and the capital reallocated. This is why we use regression analysis, neural networks, market sentiment, and additional predictive methods to identify which artists will continue to increase in value.

The art market analytics and fine art valuation research we perform has direct applications in:

• Buy-hold-sell decisions
• Art investing
• Estate planning
• Estate collections management
• Art collecting (to a more targeted degree)

For our clients, the advice they receive elevates their decision-making to a professional level.
