Art and collectibles

How a work is found. Discreetly.

Many works change hands privately, between people who know the owner and know when they might sell. A collector looking for one needs somebody inside those conversations.

Before you ask

What people ask us.

Does Albert sell art?

No. Albert Connect connects professionals and their clients. The agreement for a work is made between buyer and seller.

Does Albert verify provenance or authenticity?

No. Write what you require, such as provenance or certificates, into your criteria and your agreement with the seller.

What does a search cost?

With a search mandate, the search fee and any success fee are written in the mandate before you sign. The search fee is refunded in full if nothing matching is found.

Can details stay confidential?

Yes. Listings can keep details behind an NDA, and a search mandate binds both sides to confidentiality.
