Training aims
The Art Advisor profession is a new art profession, which has been growing strongly since 2010.
The main mission of a broker-consultant is to bring his practical knowledge of the art market to his clients. He supports them in defining and defining with them a strategy for acquiring, or even renting, works of art, but also collector's items, depending on the project, the duration and the resources allocated. He uses his knowledge of Art History and Art markets, but also, if necessary and feasible, a network of service providers (craftsmen, fixers, etc.).
Highly qualified intermediary, in charge of locating, supplying and promoting works of art and collectibles, this professional must anticipate trends, reversals in values and anticipate contingencies. The profession of art Advisor offers more flexibility than does the professions of auctioneer, court expert or antique dealer, due to a less restrictive legal framework. He can thus exercise on this activity alone or on the fringes of other activities.
True strategist of the relationship that his client will maintain with art pieces or collectibles, the art broker-consultant must:
- Define the acquisition / disposal and financing strategy
- Define the positioning of the seller and / or the buyer
- Identify and present short / medium / long term market trends
- Identify the market (s) likely to satisfy the cultural and heritage interest
- Promote the elements, possibly increasing visibility (gallery or private exhibitions, community management, product placement, etc.)
- Provide its client with additional skills, sometimes delegated, depending on the goods negotiated
