Art Advisory in Singapore
Art & Collectibles in Singapore
Singapore is the family office capital of Asia and the base most Indian principals now choose regionally. Its economy runs on wealth management, shipping, commodities and technology, and the members we look after here are typically families who have set up a single family office here in the last decade.
A work is bought on its merits, with its history checked before money moves. We source through galleries, auction houses and private collections, commission independent condition and provenance checks, and arrange shipping, insurance and storage.
This is one of the region's main auction markets, and many works change hands privately around the sales. Practically, a major international airport plus a dedicated business aviation airport, and regulation is strict, predictable, and the reason people come.
Held locally
How this works in Singapore.
- Requests from Singapore reach a named relationship manager rather than a queue, and the same person stays with the request until it is closed.
- We take no dealer margin, and provenance is verified independently before purchase.
- Where something cannot be arranged in Singapore on the terms you have asked for, you are told that plainly and early rather than late.
Questions, answered once
Art & Collectibles in Singapore, without the theatre.
Which galleries and auction houses in Singapore do you work with?
That depends on what is genuinely open at the time, and it moves. Your relationship manager in Singapore will tell you what is actually available rather than what sounds best.
Can provenance be verified independently before I buy?
We source through galleries, auction houses and private collections, commission independent condition and provenance checks, and arrange shipping, insurance and storage. We take no dealer margin, and provenance is verified independently before purchase.
What duties apply when bringing art into Singapore?
The position differs by jurisdiction and changes. We confirm what applies in Singapore with qualified local advisers before anything proceeds, and set it out for you in writing.
How long does a private sale take to complete?
It depends on the request and the season. Your relationship manager gives you a realistic timeframe when you ask, and says early if it is not achievable rather than late.
Is a purchase through you kept confidential?
Discretion is the default. Nothing about the arrangement is shared beyond the people carrying it out, and nothing is disclosed to a counterparty without your instruction.
A private conversation
