What VIPMAKKI Art Advisory Delivers

VIPMAKKI's Art Advisory division is led by former Sotheby's and Christie's specialists with decades of combined experience in the international art market. We provide end-to-end guidance for serious collectors — from building a focused acquisition strategy and navigating auction house relationships to authenticating works and managing museum-quality collections. Whether you are acquiring your first blue-chip painting or seeking a missing masterpiece for an established collection, our team operates with absolute discretion and the deepest industry relationships.

Acquisition Strategy

Focused collection building across blue-chip, emerging, Old Masters, and contemporary art.

Auction Representation

Bid on your behalf at Sotheby's, Christie's, and Phillips — in-room or by phone.

Authentication & Provenance

Rigorous due diligence including scientific analysis, provenance research, and catalogue raisonné verification.

Collection Management

Climate-controlled storage, insurance, conservation, framing, and museum loan coordination.

Collection Strategy

Building a Collection That Tells a Story

The greatest collections are not simply accumulations of valuable objects — they are coherent narratives. Our advisors work closely with you to define a collecting thesis, identify the artists and periods that align with your vision, and build relationships with the galleries, dealers, and private sellers who can source the works you need. From Post-War abstraction to 21st-century digital art, from Old Master drawings to contemporary sculpture, we help you construct a collection with intellectual coherence and lasting significance.

Blue-Chip Masters

Warhol, Basquiat, Richter, Hockney — the titans of 20th and 21st century art.

Emerging Artists

Early access to the next generation — the artists and galleries defining tomorrow.

Old Masters

Rembrandt to Canaletto. The enduring trophies of the world's most discerning collections.

Contemporary & Digital

From ultra-contemporary painting to digital and generative art — the bleeding edge.

The VIPMAKKI Difference

Discretion, Access & Uncompromising Expertise

What distinguishes VIPMAKKI Art Advisory is the depth of our relationships and the absolute discretion with which we operate. Our team has officiated transactions at the highest levels of the market — private sales of eight-figure masterpieces, competitive auction bidding for sought-after lots, and off-market acquisitions from private collections that never reach public view. We open doors to museum boardrooms, gallery backrooms, and artist studios around the world. Every recommendation is guided by a fiduciary standard — your interests, always.
