What we do

A small gallery, run like a museum.

Three promises we keep for every artist, every work, every client.

Curated Exhibitions

Four themed shows a year, hung as one continuous argument — no filler walls, no borrowed crowd-pleasers.

Certified Authenticity

Every work leaves with a signed certificate, a full provenance record, and a recent condition report.

Worldwide Delivery

Museum-standard crating, door-to-door insurance, and installation by partners we have vetted for a decade.

Acquiring a work

Three steps, no theatre.

01

Browse & reserve

Walk the floor or the online collection; reserve any work for 48 hours, no deposit.

02

Confirm & certify

We issue the certificate and provenance pack; you approve the condition report.

03

Crate & install

White-glove delivery, placement on your wall, and a follow-up conservation note.

Collectors

Word of mouth, kept brief.

The certificate arrived before the painting did — and the painting arrived perfectly.
