ART CONSULTANCY

Christian & Kwan is a London-based art consultancy providing a tailor-made service from sourcing artworks to installation. We work with both private and corporate clients to help start, build and grow art collections, sourcing from artists, galleries, art dealers and art fairs, bringing a personable and informative approach to collecting.

We believe that art has the power to transform a space and are passionate that the experience of acquiring art should be exciting and fulfilling. Whether you are a first-time buyer, seasoned collector or a business looking to transform your workspace, we will guide you through a smooth and enjoyable process. If you are looking to take the first step into acquiring art or wishing to expand your collection, we look forward to hearing from you.

SERVICES

At Christian & Kwan, we will create a personalised collection with you based around the potential of the space, your aesthetic preferences and influences. We begin with a complimentary initial consultation – an in-depth conversation to get to know you and discuss your brief, timeframe and budget. We will then put together a plan and fee structure of our services. Depending on the nature of the project, the fee structure is either a set project fee or a day rate and percentage commission on individual artworks. This is discussed in our initial consultation with you and is outlined in the proposal.

Once agreed, we will put together a proposal for you with several options of artworks and mock-ups showing how artworks would look in your space. This is our starting point. This is an interactive and collaborative process, where your feedback will narrow down and be refined to a final choice. Art viewings at galleries, artists’ studios or in your home will help with the decision-making process.

Our service includes negotiating with the gallery, art dealer or artist to secure the best possible price for you. We will coordinate and manage all post-sale administration (framing, delivery, installation and insurance if necessary), the costs of which will be detailed in our proposal. The proposal will be transparent, with a clear breakdown of costs. Our aim is to provide a seamless process and white glove service.

In addition, we can support you with the management of an existing collection and provide advisory services, including valuations for insurance purposes. We also facilitate the commissioning of bespoke art.
