GREER ADAMS

Sales & Acquisitions

Greer Adams Fine Art provides sales and acquisition services for private collectors and corporates seeking professional advice and assistance with the sale or purchase of significant works of Australian Indigenous art or entire collections.

For sellers, Greer may recommend offering a work directly through Greer Adams Fine Art or, if appropriate, another avenue likely to deliver a strong outcome.

Services may include advice on particular works, market context, negotiation, liaison with galleries, dealers, auction houses or private parties, and coordination of the sale or acquisition process. Every work is considered against a clear standard of impeccable provenance.

Sales and acquisition services are separate from Collection Management and Collection Development, with their own fee structure.

Collection Management

Greer Adams Fine Art provides ongoing collection management for private collectors and corporates, supporting the care, organisation and management of significant art collections.

Depending on the needs of the collection, services may include:

• Collection records, databases and documentation
• General collection administration
• Freight, framing, conservation, storage and installation coordination
• Liaison with relevant specialists and third parties
• Collection reviews and identification of priorities
• Strategic planning around the ongoing management and longer-term needs of the collection

Collection Care & Oversight

For private and corporate collections requiring a lighter level of ongoing management. This service provides continuity and a trusted point of contact for the care, administration, documentation and practical requirements of the collection. The focus is on keeping the collection organised and records current, coordinating needs as they arise, liaising with relevant third parties and flagging matters that may require attention.

Ongoing Collection Management

For larger, more active or complex collections requiring a greater level of regular management. Greer takes an active role in reviewing the collection, establishing and progressing priorities, coordinating ongoing requirements and acting as a central point of contact. The engagement may also include strategic planning around the collection’s ongoing management and longer-term needs.

Engagement Collection Care & Oversight and Ongoing Collection Management are offered as ongoing monthly retainers, with the scope and level of involvement tailored to the needs of the individual collection.

Advisory

Collection Development

Greer Adams Fine Art provides Collection Development services for private collectors and corporates looking to thoughtfully develop, refine or strengthen an existing collection, or establish a new one.

For established collections, Greer works with the collector to review the collection as a whole, consider its direction, identify strengths, gaps and opportunities, and establish priorities and a longer-term vision.

For new collections, Greer can help define the initial intention, focus and parameters, working within agreed budgets and providing guidance and context as the collection develops.

Engagement Collection Development may be undertaken as a standalone advisory engagement or alongside ongoing Collection Management. Acquisition and sales services are separate and have their own fee structure.
