New collectors may wish to explore the art world by visiting galleries and artist studios with Susan Petr Goren, privately consulting with her as they refine their own tastes and preferences to collect with confidence.  More experienced collectors may prefer to rely on SPG Art Advisory to polish their collections, to search more efficiently and to properly care for and manage their artwork. Ms. Goren's goal for every client is to make building an art collection an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

BUY

Clients frequently appreciate Susan Petr Goren's guidance in the following areas:

  • Budget development
  • Visits to artists’ studios, gallery tours, fine art fairs, and access to museum artwork for sale.*

EVALUATION
SPG Art Advisory will assess an existing or inherited collection by researching and cataloging artwork to help determine what should be sold, retained, or donated.  

PRESENTATION
Presentation is critical to proper exhibition and enjoyment of your artwork. 

  • Installation – SPG Art Advisory works in tandem with shippers, framers and installers to prepare art for installation and then oversees the installation process.
  • Placement – Finding a new wall for a work of art that has been in a collection for years can invigorate a space and make artwork feel fresh and new.

  • Framing, Pedestals and Lighting – The perfect frame or pedestal to accentuate your artwork is critical; lighting, often overlooked, is also essential.  SPG Art Advisory can recommend proper archival museum-quality framing to ensure the longevity of your artwork without damage, or locate custom order difficult-to-find pedestals for optimal viewing height.

CARE AND LOGISTICS
Protecting an established collection requires attention to detail. SPG Art Advisory can oversee or advise you in areas such as shipping, insurance, appraisals, cleaning and restoration.
