What is an art advisor? How does an art advisor work? What are the benefits?

...and isn't it very expensive?

Basic answers to working with an art advisor.

As the art market has grown, more and more art is produced. The offerings for art off- and online are vast. Collectors need assitance more than ever to be sure that they are making the right acquisition choice.

Advisors help collectors to educate, focus interest and buy art by providing access to the best quality artworks within a given budget.

Christina Blattmann Art Advisory offers a range of services that can be individually tailored.

The upfront educational part ensures narrowing down a collection focus and results in a methodic collection strategy. To make good value and high quality acquisitions it is very beneficial to get the professional assistance of an art advisory as they will help you to find the piece of desire and negotiate the price. "Wall to wall services" guarantee smooth deliveries, no matter if you are buying one piece, building or sharpening a collection. The sustainable administration of artworks allows the transparent organisation of the collection to guarantee the best possible upkeep depending on individual needs.

For the services such as advising what artists and what works to buy, negotiating with galleries, bidding on works at auction, negotiating with galleries or introducing clients to other market experts, the advisors take a percentage on the sales price of an artwork, typically between 5 -10% or charge a fixed monthly or even yearly fee. Other services are billed per piece or per hour. The advisor fees practically pay off by itself through advantegous acquisitions in terms of price, value and quality.

"When you use a qualified advisor you buy insider's knowledge that’s been cultivated for years and can navigate you through the complexities of today’s art market."
