EIGHT DIMENSIONS

WHAT WE EVALUATE

—

Our evaluation is conducted by researchers with backgrounds in art market analysis, provenance research, and private collecting. We go far beyond surface-level checks to deliver collectors who are ready and suitable for serious professionals.

1.

Acquisition History & Collection Depth

We examine the collector’s purchasing record across auctions, galleries, and private sales. We assess the quality, consistency, and focus of their collection to confirm genuine engagement in your specific market segment.

5.

Provenance & Transaction Verification

Every significant acquisition is cross-checked for legitimacy, source, and documentation. We identify any red flags and confirm the collector’s reliability in completing transactions.

2.

Institutional & Philanthropic Engagement

We map board memberships, museum patronage, foundation involvement, and public donations to understand their standing and seriousness within the art ecosystem.

6.

Buying Patterns & Market Coherence

Analysis of purchase frequency, price bands, preferred genres, and geographic focus. We ensure their buying behavior aligns with your inventory, price range, and career stage.

3.

Public Profile & Visibility Assessment

We evaluate press mentions, social presence, event participation, and reputation in collecting circles while maintaining full discretion.

7.

Financial Capacity & Transaction History

We verify sustained ability to purchase at the levels relevant to your practice through documented activity and market signals.

4.

Reference & Reputation Verification

Discreet outreach to trusted contacts in the art world (advisors, gallerists, auction specialists) to confirm character, discretion, and reliability.

8.

Strategic Alignment Synthesis

All data is synthesized into a final compatibility score and recommendation. We determine how well the collector matches your niche, values, and business objectives.

FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

—

Q: “How do you verify that a collector is actively buying art right now, not just someone who attended a gala once?”

We do not count passive attendees or one-time donors. Using our proprietary database accumulated over years and verified across millions of data points, our 8‑point verification framework requires two independent signals of active acquisition behavior within the past 18 months: documented purchase history (auction records, gallery receipts, advisory confirmations), verified private viewing attendance with follow‑through, or active collection stewardship (institutional loans, conservation records, deaccessioning). Every collector profile includes a timestamp of the most recent acquisition signal. If a collector has not transacted in 18 months, they move to a dormant queue. You receive only verified, active buyers.

Q: “What sources do you use? Are these public records, or do you have proprietary access?”

We use a layered methodology of open‑source intelligence (property records, corporate registrations, charitable giving disclosures, auction results, trade press) overlaid with our proprietary data—accumulated over years and spanning hundreds of thousands of collector behavior data points that public databases never capture. Examples include private sales through advisory relationships, off‑market acquisitions, and attendance patterns at invitation‑only events. We do not scrape social media or rely on unverified self‑reports. Every collector profile cites its source lineage. Approximately 40% of our database entries include at least one data point not available through any public aggregator. This is how we map buyers your competitors cannot find.

Q: “How current is your data? If a collector moves or changes their collecting focus, how do you capture that?”

Our proprietary database is refreshed on a rolling 90‑day cycle, with high‑priority segments (active luxury real estate markets, hospitality zones) updated monthly. We track three change vectors using millions of accumulated data points: location (property and registration records cross‑referenced with gallery mailing list returns), budget (auction participation patterns and advisory confirmation), and aesthetic focus (acquisition records and institutional loan activity). When a collector’s behavior shifts—from postwar European to contemporary Southeast Asian, for example—we update their profile and flag the change for clients with active alerts. Stale data is our liability, not yours. If we deliver a collector match that is more than 90 days out of date, you do not pay for that report.

Q: “What exactly is your 8‑point verification process? Can I see the methodology?”

Yes. Every collector in our database is evaluated across eight dimensions:

1. Acquisition history & collection depth

2. Institutional & philanthropic engagement

3. Public profile & visibility

4. Reference & reputation (discreet advisor/gallerist outreach)

5. Provenance & transaction verification

6. Buying patterns & market coherence

7. Financial capacity & transaction history

8. Strategic alignment synthesis

These eight filters run against our proprietary dataset—years in the making, spanning hundreds of thousands of verified data points—before any collector profile is delivered to you. The result is not just a name and email. It is a forensic compatibility score with source citations. A detailed breakdown of our methodology is available to all active subscribers.

"We do not guess about who is buying art. Our proprietary database—accumulated over years and verified across millions of data points—maps the exact acquisition behavior, financial capacity, and aesthetic focus of active collectors, so our clients never walk into a room blind."
