Commissioned buying
Commissioned art buying.
For organisations and private clients who know what they want to find, or what the collection needs to become. Aspect Global manages the research, sourcing and acquisition process against an agreed scope.
Suitable briefs
A brief worth researching.
A useful brief might name an artist, movement, medium, budget, date range or setting. It might also identify a gap in an existing collection, without prescribing the answer.
Before work begins, Aspect Global confirms scope, fee basis, decision points and the evidence expected for any proposed acquisition.
The work
From brief to acquisition.
Define the mandate
Clarify the objective, budget, boundaries, timing and approval route.
Research the market
Review suitable works, sellers, auction routes and comparable evidence.
Shortlist and diligence
Present a controlled set of options with risks, costs and acquisition route.
Acquire and deliver
Manage negotiation or bidding, payment sequence, logistics and framing where agreed.
Scope boundary
Independent research. Specialist evidence.
Aspect Global provides desk research and acquisition management. Where physical inspection, condition expertise, valuation for a regulated purpose or authentication is required, an appropriate specialist is commissioned and agreed separately.
