Services

Lester Fine Art LLC provides support and trusted independent advice for all stages of collecting, based on our deep art historical and market knowledge. We match an understanding of our client's space, aesthetic preferences, budget, and goals with our established network of galleries, dealers, auction houses and artists in New York City, Chicago, London and beyond.

We are pleased to work with individuals, architects, corporations and designers on the following services:

Consulting, Advisory and Sales.

We work with our clients to find the perfect work of art, exposing them to both emerging and established artists. We handle all aspects of the transaction: from initial vetting of artworks, to negotiating terms and managing post-sale logistics such as framing, shipping, delivery, and installation. Past sale prices of comparable works- in terms of quality, size, condition and period- are reviewed to determine appropriate prices for works under consideration.

When selling an individual artwork or an entire collection, we assist our clients in identification of the most advantageous venues for sale. We streamline what can be a complex process, assisting with appraisal coordination, sales strategy, gathering of competitive estimates and negotiation of terms to ensure the best possible outcome.

Collection Management.

We are pleased to assist with all aspects of collection management— from cataloging and photography of artworks to database maintenance, rotation and storage, appraisal, loan and insurance coordination, conservation and shipping logistics.

Art Fair & Gallery Tours.

We travel with our clients to major art fairs, museum and gallery openings. We provide VIP access and itineraries as well as early previews and private meetings with gallerists and curators.
