Private Client Services

Private Sales
Trent Fine Art Advisory has access to many artworks available only on the private market. These artworks include, but, are not limited to paintings by Dana Schutz, Yoshitomo Nara, Barnaby Furnas, Tal R and Jules de Balincourt. Trent also works with a number of emerging artists not yet with New York representation. These artists are Marisa Baumgartner, Alexandra Catiere and Nicole Cohen.

Create proposals for future purchases
A proposal gives a client a selection of works that fit the criteria (size, price, medium, etc.) he or she has set forth for a particular space. A proposal also provides private collectors with a detailed look at available works by specific artists that will fit in with the goals of their collections.

Gallery and museum tours
Part of purchasing art is learning about art. Many clients enjoy going to museums, galleries and auction houses, but, have questions about what they are seeing. Trent Fine Art Advisory provides the opportunity for clients to learn about challenging art as well as providing insight into the art market.

Artist Studio Visits
Trent Fine Art Advisory sets up studio visits to many artist studios. Some of the scheduled studios for 2006-2007 are Nicole Cohen, Kristine Moran, John Newsom and Richard DuPont.

Advice on the art market
Understanding the art market can be tricky. Walkthrough’s of sales at Christie’s, Sotheby’s and Phillip’s offer clients an understanding about the auction world. Trent Fine Art Advisory is also available at Art Fairs. We will be present at Art Miami, Scope, The Armory Show and the Venice Biennale, to name a few. (See the News section for an updated list.)

Signage
Sinage is important for a corporate collection because it denotes all of the pertinent information about a specific piece of art. Specifically, it tells the artist, title, date, and medium.

Collection management
Maintaining a large collection requires a updated database. This helps keep track of everything including where a piece of art is hanging to where it was purchased and when. We also make sure that a corporation’s insurance is updated with all new purchases.

A monthly art brief highlights four outstanding exhibitions currently on view in New York City. Corporations can publish art briefs in their monthly newsletter.

Emerging Artist Shows
An Emerging Artist show is a rotating exhibition held at a corporation. These shows feature a cutting edge artist who has potential to be successful in the art world.
