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.
Artists, curators, fabricators, and institutional partners across Asia and globally. Engagements typically draw on two or more service lines together.
We work with developers and hotel operators from the design stage, integrating art into the property as a coherent programme rather than a procurement exercise. Scope includes curatorial concept, artist sourcing, commissioning, framing and installation, and post-installation maintenance.
For collectors building, refining, or repositioning a collection with a long view. We advise on collection strategy, acquisition routes, provenance and condition due diligence, custody and insurance, and intergenerational planning.
Site-specific commissions and curated events in collaboration with developers, hotels, and cultural institutions. We manage the full arc from concept and artist selection to fabrication, installation, and the public-facing programme.
Art as an asset class: market analysis, acquisition strategy, custody and insurance, holding structures, and exit planning. Coordinated where relevant with the collector's tax, legal, and family office advisers.
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.
Studio visits, fair walkthroughs, talks, and structured introductions for collectors at any stage. Limited capacity. By invitation.
