(1) Philosophy —

Bülow Fine Art is committed to building art collections of outstanding merit and taste – a journey based on focused, meaningful, and dedicated dialogue. In this way, our clients gain a tremendous advantage in approaching every decision regarding their collections, guided not only by desire and instinct, but also through a well-rounded approach based on facts, ever-growing connoisseurship, and – of course – a greater sense of certainty in their judgment.

(2) Services —

Our services for you and your collection can range from a distinct objective – such as the search for one specific work of art or the creation of the best strategy to pass on another – to an all-encompassing approach in which all elements and dynamics of collecting, your ideas and goals, and other defining parameters are taken into account. This may include, but is not limited to:

Analyzing your collection and helping to set targets
Identifying opportunities to acquire works
Providing complete support and strategic advice for the deaccessioning of artworks
Brokering art loans and guarantees
Giving in-depth art historical and market analysis
Helping you understand and navigate the art world and art market, and assisting you in prioritizing what’s most important to you
Establishing detailed records and complementing the collection’s archive and cataloguing, serving as a format for regular reviews
Providing access to highly regarded lawyers, tax advisors, and art insurers
Assisting with shipping, storage, conservation, restoration, and condition reporting
Creating and organising the collection’s library of artist books, monographs, exhibition catalogues, and catalogues raisonnés

(3) Specialties —

Our expertise is not limited to any particular artistic medium or movement; rather, we are committed to the finest works by the most inspiring contemporary and post-war artists. Extensive – and in many cases intimate – knowledge of these artists’ oeuvres ensures superior results in our clients’ decision-making process.
