What Does An Art Consultant Do?
After our recent private exhibition Mirror to the City at Francesc Macia 10, there are a lot of new faces around here! We wanted to reintroduce ourselves and share a little more about what we do…
The concept of an art consultant (also called an art adviser) is still relatively novel, especially here in Spain. Quite simply, an art consultant is the master of finding THE perfect piece of art for any person, location or situation. Consider us a trusted art partner, with the knowledge and relationships to source artwork that is not only aesthetically beautiful but represents excellent investment potential. We help our clients to navigate the (sometimes very mysterious) contemporary art world, saving them time and money and making the process exciting and fun!
We work with private clients, interior design and architecture studios as well as brands seeking to align themselves with the art world through private events and immersive experiences.
An art consultant is an integral part of the interior design team, and can either provide the starting point of a whole design or find complimentary artwork to fit with an existing design. An art consultant generally represents the buyer as opposed to the artist - although we also work in close collaboration with artists and galleries (this is how we make sure our clients have access to the most exclusive work).

We are obsessed with current art market trends, and can help you understand the context of a piece or genre. This can help show you why an artwork has appreciated or why it might be at a particular price point. This also ensures that any art acquisitions are investment-worthy and will appreciate over time.
We work with our clients to really understand their taste and needs, to be able to curate a perfect selection of artwork for you to choose from. Our aim: To find art you absolutely love from the moment you see it.

The private exhibition, Mirror to the City we recently curated on behalf of our brand partner Francesc Macià 10 for their clients was an extremely exciting project for our team. Collaborating with 9 of the most prestigious art galleries in Barcelona (and 1 in Madrid) meant unparalleled access to the best of local and Spanish art currently available.
As well as the curation and creative work behind the scenes, one of our favourite aspects was to privately connect with clients around these events and to really be able to discuss their likes and dislikes. This is what we do as art advisors.
If you are considering starting or growing your own art collection, our expert team would love to support you on your art journey.
