About Us

The art market surrounding contemporary art is moving faster than ever, the speed in which new transactional numbers are being made is happening at a pace that is hard to keep up. We like to think about an appraisal as a tool for wealth management. Art is an asset, it functions as a commodity within the larger commodity culture and its trade value between buyers and sellers, deserves the same level of attention and consideration as any other asset.

Volatility in the art world is real, as you and your team of advisors are strategizing and making short term and long decisions. Setting up the right insurance protection for your collection, considering a donation to a qualified institution or working through estate considerations, the need to make smarter and more informed decisions becomes more important than ever. We assist clients with very specific information about price and very specific information about how much an object is worth. 

We have over twenty years in the arts as an advocate and patron. Our area of expertise covers modern, post war and contemporary art and works by African American artists, however we specialize in post war and contemporary art. Current with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).

He is also a managing partner in Concept Space, an art advisory firm based in Washington, DC which specializes in helping collectors develop sound collections along the guidelines of connoisseurship and appraisal methodology.
