Frequently Asked Questions

What is art consulting?

Our art consulting services involve assisting clients with finding and purchasing contemporary fine art according to their needs, whether for personal or business use. Past clients have included interior designers, corporate organisations, and art enthusiasts passionate about building contemporary art collections.

We discuss your needs in-depth to find or commission artwork that matches your vision, considering style and budget while ensuring authenticity and originality. Our process can also include selecting works likely to gain value over time, ensuring your artwork remains a worthy investment.

In addition to art selection, we can assist with sourcing the resources needed for the appropriate presentation and installation of your new artwork.

What does an art consultant do?

A private art consultant uses their arts and culture expertise to help clients in curating artwork for interior design, personal collections, exhibition projects, and more. Art consultants must be familiar not only with the history of their niche but also up to date with current trends in the art market.

Ocula's personal and corporate art consultants have over forty years of experience in the arts industry. We are connected to hundreds of galleries and artists worldwide, so you can trust that we have the resources to research and find the perfect piece to transform your space.

By curating your project or collection with the help of a skilled art consultant, you can ensure you find authentic, bespoke pieces that serve as an investment for the future. You will also have greater access to creators and galleries across the world of arts and culture. Speak to an Ocula art investment consultant today if you are planning to expand your art collection.

What is an art broker vs art dealer vs art advisor?

Art brokers and dealers are both involved in the business of selling art, but their methods of doing so differ slightly from each other. While there is no exact definition, an art dealer is often a gallery owner who buys and sells artwork in their own collection. On the other hand, an art broker might not have artwork on hand but can help facilitate sales (or art brokerages) from an artist to a client. Finally, an art advisor or consultant directly works for a client to find a piece of art that matches their project needs, whether that be adding life to an office or planning a personal collection.Our passion for all things arts and culture translates into expert art advisory services. We make it our mission to help you find and acquire the perfect piece. Talk to us about your next project today.
