Our understanding of the Art Market is unparalleled and we constantly strive to maintain heightened cultural sensitivity and display the integrity that you have come to expect from a global art advisory firm. The ‘1858 network’ has become synonymous with the most sophisticated and affluent groups of individuals, institutions and private clients in the world.

1858’s Research Capabilities:

1858 works with the most respected art statisticians and research houses. We firmly believe that the rigorous collection of data leads to better, informed decision-making. This in turn provides clients with an additional level of confidence when making a purchase. By working closely with our partners and utilizing extensive research capabilities, we ensure that all areas of the art purchasing, divesting and management cycle are carried out in the most timely, efficient and economical manner. For investment-lead clients, we are able to compare the artist and art market performance to other more traditional investments.

Impartiality:

1858 is not bound to or by any specific art dealer, auction house or gallery. We solely represent our client's interest in the market, providing an independent and impartial personalized service and this will not change.

Challenging the market:

One of the reasons 1858 clients favour utilizing our services is to alleviate high transaction costs frequently found in the marketplace. These costs can often exceed 25% of the price of the artwork being purchased or sold. As a part of our commitment to our clients, we actively reduce these transactional burdens whilst also providing clients with complete access to works available.

Access:

1858 has the reach to access the world's finest art; from the dawn of civilization to contemporary masterpieces. We also have access to the worlds finest private collections, not readily available in the secondary market. In a sector where traditionally , buyers have only been provided a narrow offering at best, 1858 is proud to offer unfettered access to all areas of the market to the benefit of our clients.
