Some weeks in May in the life of a digital art advisor

In this blog post, I would like to give some insight of the work I have done in the last month. Often, much of what happens in my work as a digital art advisor takes place behind the scenes and is quite private. Still, I think it is a good idea to share some insights and experiences from this period. 

One of the highlights this past month was successfully acquiring a significant number of artworks at an international auction on behalf of a private collector. It was a rewarding experience to see the collector’s wishlist come to life, as we managed to secure several coveted pieces that perfectly matched his vision. What made this achievement even more satisfying was that we were able to obtain these works at very reasonable prices, demonstrating that with the right strategy and timing, it’s possible to find exceptional value in the market today. 

Additionally, I was able to introduce a highly regarded A+ gallery to a close artist friend of mine. The initial conversations between them have already been very promising. 

I truly believe that something special can emerge from this partnership, and I look forward to seeing how it develops in the coming months.

Furthermore, I’m proud to share that I have successfully found wonderful homes for several pieces from my exposition of Joep Liefland’s work. Seeing these artworks find their place with passionate collectors is really rewarding. It not only affirms the value and appeal of the collection but also strengthens the connection between the artist’s vision and those who truly appreciate it. 

I’m also pretty happy to have finally gotten my website, Instagram, and Twitter accounts well organized and up to date. In today’s digital age, having a polished and consistent online presence is essential. Streamlining these platforms not only helps me showcase the artists and collections I work with more effectively but also allows me to engage more meaningfully with followers and potential clients. It’s a small but significant step (for me ;))  toward building a stronger digital presence that supports both the artists and collectors I advise.
Looking ahead to the coming weeks, I’m especially excited about my upcoming visit to ZKM Karlsruhe to experience the exhibition Choose Your Filter, which focuses on browser art. This show features several artists whose work I’ve been eager to explore in person, and I’m looking forward to gaining fresh inspiration and insights from their innovative approaches. Following that, I will be traveling to Art Basel, where my main focus will be attending lectures and exhibitions centered around The Digital Art Mile. This part of the fair highlights digital art, and I’m eager to immerse myself in the conversations and artworks. These events promise to be both stimulating and enriching, offering new perspectives that I can bring back to my work.
