Wherefore Art Thou?

Some of us like to play games with money.

But perhaps it’s time to invest in something you can see.

For that we suggest Art & Advisory, a Perry Street consulting firm reaching out to first-time art collectors.

Principals Rachel Greene and Erica Samuels have an impressive resume between them (curatorial consultant for the Whitney Biennial, Bellwether gallery director, NYU art program faculty) plus sweet hookups to galleries, museums, and artists galore.

Make an appointment (it’s free) to chat about your history, hobbies, style, and price range. In a week, they’ll e-mail options (prints, sculpture, painting, you name it) from an assortment of artists and explain why they think the works will strike your fancy.

Once you fall in love, they’ll hold your hand through acquisition and provide you with security in your purchase.

Isn’t that a novel concept.


Art & Advisory, 56 Perry Street, at West 4th Street, suite 5e (646-454-9923 or artandadvisory.com).
