Art Advisory

Over and above its emotive and subjective appeal, art is an uncorrelated asset class with strong fundamentals, and therefore maintains a prominent position in investment management and alternative portfolio diversification. New Legacy Generation facilitates the acquisition, management, preservation and sale of art assets for its clients. We provide expert advice on the inclusion of art in custom client portfolios, and assist with collecting, estate and foundation planning, auction house and gallery or museum interfacing. To manage and preserve art assets, we arrange financing, appraising and cataloguing art, as well as, collection management, shipping and insurance. Additionally, we provide exclusive access to art fairs, museums, foundations and artist or designer studios.

Our network of global art advisors, and our in-house art experts, provide insight to the art market, and education on the variety of art styles, media, genres and works of importance and notoriety. The scope of our expertise spans a wide array of art styles and schools, from Old Masters and Impressionism through to Contemporary art works. We offer advice in developed and emerging markets including China, India and the Middle East.

Where necessary, New Legacy Generation can offer suitable guidance on art patronage for the enhancement of art assets and family legacy, as well as structure the transfer of art assets for future generations.
