Our Services
Acquisitions
As seasoned art-market professionals, matching collectors to artworks is what we do best. Whether a client is seeking a centrepiece for the home, a blue-chip investment or an artwork to elevate a corporate environment, Vita Fine Art can provide a tailored collecting strategy based on individual tastes, objectives and budget.
Our deep familiarity with the auction process parallels our ability to source exceptional off-market artworks. Preparation, thorough market research and due diligence are critical. We advise on all aspects of acquisition, from condition reporting and additional provenance research to bidding strategies and price negotiation.
Sales
Once we have established an artwork’s commercial viability, the choice of sale option will depend on several factors, including client preference, timeframe and price expectations. At Vita Fine Art, we undertake all the research and provide our clients with the critical information necessary to make informed decisions about the best option available to them.
With our comprehensive knowledge of the international auction world, we are best placed to advise on auction sale strategies that will give your consignment a competitive edge. Our industry insight allows us to negotiate the most lucrative deal on your behalf, or secure private treaty sales with our extensive network of collectors, assuring discretion for all parties.
Expertise
From acquisition right through to installation, we offer comprehensive advice on all aspects of collection management, including valuation services, authenticity confirmation, provenance research, framing and storage.
Artwork conservation also plays an essential role in safeguarding your investment for future generations. Whether you have acquired 18th-century porcelain, an Old Master or an Impressionist painting, we can advise on the most skilled conservators for your work.
