The Studio can advise you on the condition of artworks prior to acquisition via a private sale or at auction. Simon regularly goes to auction house viewings to look at pictures and advise our clients on which ones might, at first sight, be overlooked, because of superficial condition problems. In these cases, a discoloured varnish can disguise a very good quality picture.

It is also worth following us on Instagram, where we post information about forthcoming auction paintings that we find interesting.

Simon has advised new and experienced collectors in their acquisition of paintings according to their own tastes and interests (for example marine pictures or portraits of notable women). In doing this, Simon has helped to build some notable art collections, including the Berger Art Collection, which has now been gifted to the Denver Art Museum.
