Collecting and buying art is more than a transaction. It’s transformational. Partner in Art® works with clients to cultivate their knowledge, appreciation and love of art while making the art buying experience seamless and most of all rewarding. Our mission is to facilitate art sourcing, acquisition and placement for our clients as well as advise on collection management, because we believe that art not only transforms and activates spaces but living with art is empowering and brings joy and delight. We specialize in sourcing contemporary art for our clients from paintings to sculpture, photography, limited edition prints and other mediums.
Partner in Art® is a full-service art advisory firm offering an array of services along the entire art collecting spectrum and unparalleled access across the art world.
Art Acquisition: Sourcing and Placement
Whether you are a new or seasoned collector; whether you are looking to buy art for personal enjoyment or investment, for your home, office or outdoor space, Estelle Fournier brings years of experience working in the artworld and in-depth knowledge of the art market and connections to all key players. Over the years, Estelle Fournier has placed hundreds of works of art in private collections for all sorts of clients.
How we work:
- Identify client objectives, inspirations, expectations and budget with art acquisition
- For new art collectors: create an online portfolio of artworks to consider with goal to introduce client to a wide range of artists and educate client about its options and narrow its aesthetic choices
- For established collectors: generate a wish list of artists to collect in order to create a cohesive art collection.
- Organize in person viewing as needed or shipment “on approval” basis.
- Negotiate price and broker the transaction
- Recommend insurance options
- Coordinate shipping and art installation to ensure art is properly and safely installed
Partner in Art® curates and installs the work for its clients. We make sure that the art is properly transported, framed and displayed. We advise our clients on how best to showcase the art in relationship to its environment and other artworks to create a visually cohesive and meaningful experience. Only then will our clients be able to fully enjoy the art they own.
An integral part of what we do at Partner in Art® is helping our clients navigate the national and international art market and evaluate and negotiate prices for them. We do the research, we know the players, we analyze trends and ultimately help our clients make an informed decision. Whatever our clients’ motivations are, we want to make buying art an enjoyable experience
