  • Private Sales

     

    Our private sales service offers collectors a comprehensive and nuanced approach to the acquisition and divestment of artworks, bypassing traditional secondary market channels such as public auctions, art fairs, and gallery exhibitions. The effectiveness and growth of our white-glove private sales service are built upon four foundational pillars:

     

    • Discretion: We ensure confidential transactions in highly competitive markets where access to certain coveted artworks is often restricted.
    • Confidentiality: Our private sales maintain anonymity regarding purchase prices, enhancing the investment value of artworks by shielding them from public pricing volatility.
    • Agility: Our team is adept at finalizing transactions in a timely manner, ensuring efficiency once the ideal artwork for our clients has been identified.
    • Rigorous Due Diligence: We conduct meticulous due diligence on both the artworks and all parties involved in the transaction, ensuring integrity and transparency throughout the process. 

     

    At Zeit Contemporary Art, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of professionalism and confidentiality, ensuring that each transaction not only meets but exceeds the expectations of each client.
