Love working with art but don’t want to be tied down to a traditional gallery system? Then art consulting may the career path for you.
As the art market has grown – especially with the boom of art fairs over the past 20 years – more and more collectors are looking at alternative ways of building collections and living with art. But knowing what to buy can be tricky – some people feel shy in a gallery space, others lack the confidence to purchase boldly, and many people know what they like, but have no idea where to find it.
