Our Services

Collection Development & Management

  • Whether you have an established collection or are just beginning your collecting journey, AIG will provide advice on how to ensure that your collection reflects your personal goals and interests, identifying potential timely opportunities for both accession and deaccession based on proprietary market intelligence. We will advise on loans and donations and assist with research and facilitating condition reports and authentication services as needed.

Transactional Expertise & Guidance

  • Should you wish to sell works from your collection, AIG will provide transactional expertise and guidance, overseeing the process of soliciting sales proposals from primary and secondary market venues and negotiating on your behalf to ensure the best possible terms. Our in-house team of lawyers will review contracts, and our specialists will ensure that works are presented optimally, with the best marketing plans and presentation to yield the highest possible returns.

    The AIG team’s combined 50 years of secondary and primary art market experience puts us in a uniquely unrivalled position to advocate on your behalf.

Market Analysis & Insights

  • The AIG team’s decades of experience in the art world means proprietary intelligence on trends in the market and how they will impact collectors.

Private Sales

Strategic Deaccession
