Global Pass Art
Art advisory, agency, and investment

From concept
to placement.

An integrated advisory practice for art in property, hospitality, and private collections. We source, curate, commission, and place: from a single work for a private residence to a programme of hundreds of pieces across a resort development.

Services

Four service lines, one network.

Artists, curators, fabricators, and institutional partners across Asia and globally. Engagements typically draw on two or more service lines together.

A note on the Indochine period

Hanoi, 1925.

The École des Beaux-Arts de l'Indochine (EBAI) opened in Hanoi in 1925 under Victor Tardieu. In the twenty years that followed, it produced the first generation of Vietnamese modern masters: Nguyễn Phan Chánh in silk, Tô Ngọc Vân in oil, Nguyễn Gia Trí in lacquer (sơn mài), and the Paris cohort of Lê Phổ, Mai Trung Thứ, and Vũ Cao Đàm. The dialogue between French modernism and the older Vietnamese traditions of lacquer and silk painting (lụa) that this generation began continues to define one of Asia's deepest art markets, with sustained presence at the Paris and Hong Kong salerooms.

A short catalogue of the canonical works of the period follows, by way of orientation. We hold no rights in these works; the list is intended only as a reference point.
