Called New Perspective Art Partners, the new advisory is launching with a mission to work with clients in a way that offers a new model bridging cross-continental advisory services with bespoke services to top-tier collectors and institutions.
The dedicated focus on the Middle East reflects the growing ambitions of collectors and institutions in the region.
The new advisory is comprised of Ed Dolman, the former executive chairman of Phillips auction house; Brett Gorvy, a co-founder and partner of Levy Gorvy gallery and the former chairman of postwar and contemporary art at Christie's; and Patti Wong of the Hong Kong-based company Patti Wong & Associates, who previously worked at Sotheby's for 15 years as the head of the private client services department before being appointed as chairman of Sotheby's Asia in 2004.
Alex Dolman, Ed's son, who recently launched the advisory firm Dolman Partners with his father, will also be part of the group.
'New Perspectives Art Partners is oriented around those operating at the very top of the international art world, which includes numerous collectors and institutions in the Middle East,' Dolman told Arab News.
'Our team has extensive experience in the region — supporting both collectors and institutions who have been operating for decades, and those who have more recently invested in the culture space,' he said.
'We understand the unique requirements of clients in the region and can bring them the international experience necessary to help them realize their ambitions.'
