Noted as One of the World's Top 40 Art Advisors - Artelier

 

After Nyne's Art Consulting service provides clients access to an international breadth of artists and galleries - extending well beyond those artists featured on our website - and all at attractive prices.

 

Jennifer Conner has over 20 years of experience in the art world - including roles at Sotheby's, Lisson Gallery, and currently as Managing Director of The Affordable Art Fair in the UK.   Well versed in all artistic mediums and styles, Jennifer's accessible, friendly advice will assist you in identifying what best suits your needs.   You're in expert hands!

 

How it works:

 

Simply schedule an obligation-free visit where we'll discuss your space, aims and budget.  We will ask the questions that will help to crystallize your vision!  After that initial consultation, we will begin our research.  We will develop a detailed  presentation of suggested artists and works; and from there, you decide which artworks make the cut.  The list will be continually refined until you are confident and happy about moving to the next step.

 

We will then negotiate with the galleries and/or artists and will secure the works for the best possible price, ensuring that they are safely delivered to their new home.  If desired, we are always happy to work with clients to recommend the best framing, lighting, and installation options to suit your space.

 

Fees:

 

Hiring an art consultant sounds incredibly luxurious, but clients are often surprised to learn that any fees are typically paid for by negotiated artwork prices — meaning that ultimately the cost is no more than clients would have spent if they had walked into each individual gallery. 

 

The initial visit is typically complimentary, and at that point the structure of the fee will be agreed.  Often, clients opt to pay for an initial presentation of proposed artists/works for a flat cost, after which an hourly, project, or commission-based fee will be determined for the next step.  This is usually dependent upon the scale of the project to be undertaken and the services required, but the aim is to sustain no cost to you that would be more than if you had purchased the works directly yourself.

 

Any Added Benefits?
