Experience and Expertise

We handle a uniquely broad range of quality artworks from the 1860s through present. We actively buy, collect, import, and resell pieces from the modern era and assist buyers and sellers across a wide spectrum. Our office in Las Vegas, Nevada, works with other dealers across the globe to source desirable pieces and allows us to offer our clients a discreet and professional service.

Our Approach

We tailor advice to your individual taste and collecting aims using our detailed understanding of the secondary art market and its many faces. Unlike many dealers who are inexperienced collectors themselves, Mr. Carlson owns a private collection consisting of many pieces from well-known modern artists, which gives him significant insight into the collector mindset.

Our clients buy art for many reasons, all of which are personal. As a reputable dealer in a complex market, we bring integrity and clarity to an often-opaque industry and maintain discretion in all our dealings. We respect client decisions and privacy. This has allowed us to build long-term relationships with collectors and an extensive network of other brokers and industry professionals.

As art world experts, we are passionate about each piece and conduct extensive due diligence on every transaction. We take scholarship seriously and our specialists work with a close-knit group of authorities and curators to conduct professional research and authentication for our clients.

Our Team

The extensive knowledge, scholarship, and collector’s might of our team of proven experts enables us to offer a wealth of knowledge and experience. Our fluency in the secondary art market provides clients with an excellent perspective for informed decision-making. Our access to the great collections of the modern era allows us to exceptionally service our clients.
