Sales

As an advisor, I assist my clients find optimal sales opportunities, whether at auction or privately. This involves identifying best venues, negotiating on my clients’ behalf for favorable consignment terms, and generally guiding sellers through the process, helping to make it as profitable and efficient as possible.

I solicit competing sales proposals, consulting with my clients on the relative strengths of the available sales options to arrive at decisions that work best for specific circumstances. My longstanding relationships with the major auction houses and galleries enable me to achieve preferential terms and ultimately strong results for my selling clients.

I have advised private clients on transactions involving a range of artists, from notable postwar figures such as Romare Bearden, Ben Enwonwu, Sam Gilliam, James Rosenquist, and Andy Warhol to leading contemporary artists such as Tunji Adeniyi-Jones, Njideka Akunyili-Crosby, Danielle Mckinney, Eddie Martinez, Elizabeth Peyton, and Zhang Enli to more newly emerging artists such as Heather Day, Yuan Fang, Julia Jo, and Collins Obijiaku.
