About
LAA is committed to providing private and corporate clients with a full range of art collection advisory services predicated on quality, honesty, prestige, vision, discretion and rigour.
Whether you are interested in building an art collection from scratch with little knowledge about art; wishing to add a few singular pieces to an existing collection or you would like to deepen and diversify an existing collection based on years of experience, we work diligently with our clients to find the best artworks at a fair market price.
We listen carefully to our clients in order to understand their aims, interests and motivations. We work to encourage a life-long engagement with art that inspires the client to understand their vital position within the ever evolving artworld ecosystem in order to bring about meaningful and valuable change. We work to place the most relevant artworks that align with a clients criteria, budget, interests and passions. We are committed to ensuring each and every collection, regardless of scope, is distinguished from the others.
Services
Our principle offering for the new collector is to focus on the development of a personal vision, vocabulary and aesthetic sensibility. This educational approach is offered through a carefully tailored program that covers a wide array of entry points. This approach is based on the client's interest and commitment level so that a foundation of knowledge is laid for years to come. The pillars of this approach are founded on the principle of acquiring a vocabulary for being able to articulate what one is looking at - whether that be in a gallery, museum or even online. Our clients come away with the knowledge and confidence to dive into collecting artwork.
For the seasoned art collector, we work tirelessly to provide the client with market analysis for the artworks and artists that may have fallen into a blind-spot, to encourage new trajectories, to compliment their current holdings or to grow and deepen an existing collection pathway. This is an extremely engaging and enjoyable experience for the client to be a part of and our knowledge of art history and contemporary art provide the active collector with a renewed sense of focus and excitement to continue refining their passions.
Our involvement in acquisitions of artworks does not end with the closure of a purchase. Rather, we will provide a full turn-key service of ensuring prized acquisitions are handled, shipped and displayed in the most professional manner. Our access to a global network of professionals is what sets our service apart. We will ensure that your collection is protected against all risks by establishing the right insurance, conservation, restoration and storage solutions to meet its needs.
We also offer a host of complimentary services including:
Collection Management
Artwork deaccessioning
Exhibition Production and Fine Art Logistics
Curatorial and Art Historical Research
Publication Production, Writing, Editing
Family legacy and estate planning for cultural artefacts
Experience
Our access to a worldwide network of museum and gallery professionals will also create additional value to your acquisitions for the purposes of lending works to monographic or group exhibitions when the opportunity presents itself. This in turn assures that the client will then pass on the joys of their collection to other like-minded art lovers in the form of temporary loans, long term loans, or gifts to Museums.
Our knowledge of the secondary market is deep and for families or companies wishing to deaccession artworks, we provide the best approach for making sure the client receives an excellent return on investment.
