Gallery Advisory Services
Personalised guidance for collectors, designers, and art enthusiasts
At Cleo Collects, our Gallery Advisory Services are designed to support clients at every stage of their collecting journey, whether you're acquiring your first artwork, expanding an existing collection, or sourcing pieces to complement a design project. With a deep understanding of both historical and contemporary art and design, we offer an informed, intuitive approach tailored to your vision, values, and space.
Our advisory begins with understanding your personal aesthetic, interests, and the context in which the piece will live. We work closely with private clients, interior designers, and architects to source and place works that are both visually compelling and emotionally resonant. Whether you're drawn to contemporary painting, sculptural objects, or historically significant antiques, we help identify pieces with strong provenance, enduring value, and narrative depth.
Cleo Collects represents 30 international artists across disciplines, and we maintain trusted relationships with collectors, dealers, and institutions worldwide. This network allows us to offer access to a diverse range of works, both on and off the market, including rare and investment-worthy pieces from the Art Deco, Brutalist, and Cubist periods, as well as museum-quality contemporary works.
Our services include:
- from galleries, auctions, private collections, and artist studios
- from a single acquisition to full collection development
- acting discreetly on behalf of buyers and sellers
- including research, valuation guidance, and negotiation
- ensuring your pieces are installed thoughtfully and with longevity in mind
- providing context on pricing, trends, and artist trajectories
At the core of our service is a belief that art should enrich your life, not just your walls. We’re passionate about helping clients discover works that speak to them, that reflect their individuality, and that carry a sense of story and permanence.
Whether you’re furnishing a home, building a legacy collection, or seeking a single show-stopping piece, Cleo Collects offers a deeply considered, personal, and professional approach to art advisory.
