For galleries & dealers

The gallery's
defining decisions.

A gallery makes thousands of decisions a year and a handful in a lifetime that truly matter: the second space, the partner, the successor, the sale. We exist for the handful.

Situations

The moments we're calledMost gallery owners have never sold a business, taken on a partner, or raised institutional capital. We have the discipline for exactly those moments.

You are weighing succession — a family transition, a management buyout, a merger, or an outright sale — and want to understand your options before anyone else knows you're asking.
A partner, investor, or larger gallery has approached you, and you need someone on your side of the table who can read the offer.
You are expanding — a second space, a new city, a fair-heavy program — and the working capital math no longer fits inside the business.
Exhibition and inventory cycles are straining cash flow, and you want financing structured around how a gallery actually earns.
You are negotiating an artist-estate representation, a joint venture, or a strategic collaboration with real financial consequences.

Where we come in

Counsel, not products

Art M&A Advisory

Sell-side and buy-side advisory, valuation, deal structuring, and succession planning — run with discretion from first conversation to close.

Capital Strategy

Financing and capital-structure strategy designed around consignment economics and exhibition cycles, not against them.

Gallery Finance

Expansion and build-out financing, program funding, and capital planning that respects the identity of the house.

Perspective

Succession is the gallery's last great deal. It deserves the same care as any exhibition you ever mounted.

How founder-led galleries can think about continuity, value, and timing — years before a transition is announced.
