Known For

• Art advisory founded by Allan Schwartzman, based in New York's Chelsea gallery district
• Advises private collectors as well as artists, museums, philanthropic organisations and civic initiatives
• Covers the full cycle from defining a collecting concept to implementation and ongoing management

Typical Mandate

Schwartzman& is retained when a collector or institution wants a defined strategy rather than one-off purchases: shaping the concept of a private collection, building it over time, and managing it once it exists. The firm also works with artists, museums and philanthropic bodies on projects where private collecting and public patronage meet. Engagements are typically long-term and relationship-based.

How to Engage

Contact is made through the firm directly, by email or telephone as listed on its website, or by introduction from a gallery, museum or another adviser. A first conversation usually covers what the collector or institution wants to achieve, the existing holdings and the time horizon, before any acquisition is discussed.
