GAINSBOROUGH CAPITAL ART AND FINANCE
We are a private art consulting practice, catering to collectors at all stages of the accumulation of their artistic patrimony – from the would-be collector to the established scholar.
While we operate globally and our clients are based both in the U.S. and offshore, one of our strengths is our access to high-quality art among private collections in Europe. No example of our capability is more telling than our success in selling a 6th century Chinese sculpture, owned by a European family and on loan to a leading European museum, to a major museum in the United States for its permanent collection.
Our activities fall into five broad categories:
- Private art transactions.
- Art succession: in cooperation with leading art, trust and estates, and tax attorneys, and other professionals.
- Collection management, including residential art placement.
- Art financing: access to traditional and specialized sources of funding.
- Art market research and analysis, speaking engagements.
We are actively engaged in the philanthropic and community aspects of art, through events and activities funded by the 
and organized by the 
, both of which we helped create and manage. The Council curated its first major outdoor sculpture exhibition in 2012-2014, a one-artist show of 23 works. Its second, in 2015-2016, featured 20 large contemporary abstract pieces by internationally renowned artists.
All these activities require ongoing relationships with key decision-makers in the community, in local government, in business and in the philanthropic and charitable organization world — all of whom share our passion for the arts and support our initiatives in all possible ways.
