Independent Advisory in Art and Luxury Collectibles · Zurich
When dealing with art and luxury collectibles, the first decision is often the most important one: choosing the right adviser.
Independent. Discreet. No sales interest of my own – my only interest is the quality of your decision.

SERVICES
Valuations & Appraisals
Independent valuations for sale, insurance (replacement value), inheritance and estate division, gifts, tax and bank collateral. Recognised by banks, insurers and tax authorities in Switzerland, Germany and Austria.
Collection Strategy & Management
From the first strategic key work to a coherent collecting line, through inventory, contracts, logistics and the handover to the next generation.
Buy- & Sell-Side Advisory
Choosing the right channel – auction, private sale, gallery, institution – by expected proceeds, risk and timing. On the buy side: off-market access, due diligence and negotiation solely in your interest.
