EXHIBITIONS & ART PROJECTS

Starting from the development of their creative idea, exhibitions and events fulfil the clients’ – either corporate or private – needs and requests.  Innovative and tailor made projects deliver the desired added value.

Creating an exhibition or art event involves the following activities:

• transferring the creative idea into a project plan
• strategic planning
• finding artworks
• negotiating with the artist /the artists
• writing the critical text
• writing the press release
• designing/selecting graphics for web or printed material
• brochure production: concept, texts, layout and printing
 selecting transport and insurance services for the artworks
• setting up and dismantling
• photo/video
• organizing the opening event
• arranging guided tours

INTERIOR DESIGN

Site-specific design for interiors and exteriors of both private individual properties and corporate spaces. Through meticulous artistic direction, tasteful aesthetic and budget optimization, the surrounding design and the architectural context – natural and urban – become linked by the aim of delivering the best harmony and beauty possible.

My advisory services cover acquisitions or loans, customized implementations, wall interventions, installations.

The customer is assisted in all phases:

• discussions over aesthetic and artistic taste

• control of the artistic production
• transport

Existing art collections:

• study of the artworks (origin and current estimate)
• artworks sheets
• condition report
• cataloging (web or paper archive)
• innovative work plans: exhibitions and/or events prepared with private material

Under development collections:

ART ADVISORY

Advising both established and young collectors, for the sale and purchase of artworks and evaluation of their artistic heritage. Supply and demand have to find a balance to meet the collector’s need. The constantly evolving market underlines the importance of consultancy in terms of sale and/or purchase.

• Desire to buy an artwork

I am constantly studying the art market with particular attention to the period from the second postwar to present days and to under 40 artists, therefore my art advising services include verifying authenticity, fairness of price, origin and state of conservation. It is necessary to know the dynamics regulating this very peculiar business to operate with investment objectives.

• Willingness to sell an art piece

Support in catching the best market opportunities through the identification of optimal methods, places and times. Art is an alternative asset class and its market offers interesting opportunities to be explored.

• Evaluation of artworks

I guarantee seriousness and confidentiality in consulting for the evaluation of individual artworks and/or entire artistic heritages. Besides the aesthetic value, the art pieces have a precise economic value which follows the principles of the market. As it is necessary to rely on the greatest expert of a given period or a single artist to have reliability on estimates and quotations, I collaborate with sector specialists.
