Begin your collecting journey here today
While some Old Master collectors grew up surrounded by art of the Renaissance, Baroque or Rococo, many of our clients discover Old Masters later on in life. In fact, there are countless examples of Old Master collectors who are also collectors of contemporary, impressionist and modern art. A notable case is the Hill Art Foundation, a public exhibition space located in Chelsea, New York, which began as a private collection of works by Andy Warhol, Francis Bacon and other Post-War artists, now exhibits European bronzes and old master paintings from the collection as well. Regardless of whether you live in New York, Nürnburg or Nanjing, we are here to support your choices and help expand of your knowledge of our field.
