The Baer Faxt is pleased to announce The Baer Faxt Art Advisory: a first-of-its-kind membership program that provides highly personalized, on- demand services for art collecting, including real-time acquisition advice from a consortium of world-class art advisors from three continents whose collective specialization spans Contemporary, Impressionist and Modern, African, Latin American, American, and Chinese art, as well as photography. The Baer Faxt Art Advisory offers bespoke art market concierge services for two main audiences: new and intermediate collectors who wish to elevate the focus and sophistication of their collecting, and seasoned collectors (including the former CEO of Sotheby’s, Tad Smith) who recognize the value of on-demand professional access to experts of this caliber.

“If you could call Tiger Woods about your golf swing, you would,” said Dan Sallick, the Chairman of Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum. “That’s how you should think about your ability to connect with The Baer Faxt Art Advisory. No one has better insight into quality, the market, and building long-term collections.” 

The Baer Faxt Art Advisory is different from typical art advisory services because it's significantly more affordable, and it's also community oriented, with in-person events as well as educational group outings to auction houses and art fairs. Aiming to promote art market intelligence among the next generation of art buyers (most of whom work outside of the art world), the program will break down the barriers and intimidation of the art market, serving open-minded and intellectually curious individuals.

“Buying art can be extraordinarily hazardous, and every expert I've recruited for The Baer Faxt Art Advisory takes genuine pleasure in helping collectors of all levels make intelligent decisions,” said Josh Baer, the founder of The Baer Faxt Art Advisory. “We're looking at things that have historical value. Will they be in books with not just a financial future but a creative future? We are here to protect your interests—whether that's helping you conceptualize a high-quality collection from scratch, or leveraging our credibility with the world's top art dealers to get you access to exclusive artwork that would fit well in your collection, or making sure you're paying the right price for artwork you encounter on your own. And through our education and events programs, we are looking forward to building a community of intellectually curious individuals who are joined by their affinity for intelligent art collecting."

The rollout of The Baer Faxt Art Advisory follows the late-2020 announcement that LionTree and the family office of MoMA board member Glenn Fuhrman had invested in art market insights company The Baer Faxt (est. 1994) to allow it “to expand into new channels and pursue other growth opportunities that will further broaden its reach.”
