For galleries, dealers & institutions

Your route into the Chinese art market.

We are the people on the ground in Beijing: studio visits, dealer networks, auction rooms, packing and export. If your business needs Chinese art, or Chinese buyers, we make that practical rather than theoretical.

Private sourcing mandates

You need a specific artist, period, size or price point. We find it.

  • Brief agreed up front: artist, medium, size, condition tolerance, budget ceiling
  • Sourced from studios, primary dealers, private collections and auction
  • Candidates presented with condition, provenance and all-in landed cost
  • Fee structure agreed in writing before the search begins

Consignment & placement

Works you already hold, placed with the right buyer in Asia.

  • Market assessment and realistic price guidance before you commit
  • Buyer matching through the collector and advisor network we work with
  • Auction route where it makes more sense than private sale
  • Clear, written terms on commission and settlement timing

Exhibition & project collaboration

Bringing Chinese work out, or bringing overseas projects in.

  • Artist introductions and studio access for curated projects
  • Coordination on shipping, insurance and installation timelines
  • Local market context for press, catalogue and sales materials
  • Bilingual presentation support (English / 中文)

Collector access inside China

For galleries and fairs placing work with Chinese buyers.

  • Introduction to qualified collectors, vetted for intent rather than curiosity
  • Cultural and market framing that lands with a Chinese collector audience
  • Advisory on pricing presentation in RMB terms
  • Discretion: introductions only with both sides' consent

How it starts

One call, then a written brief

Introductory call

Twenty to thirty minutes. What you buy or sell, the price band, the geography. We will say early if we are not the right counterparty.

Written brief and terms

Scope, deliverable, timeline, fee and settlement terms in one document. Nothing starts without this.

Execution

Sourcing, inspection, negotiation or placement — with a named contact and a status update rhythm you set.

Settlement and reporting

Funds settled as agreed, with a written record of the transaction and the documentation that goes with the work.
