ART CONCIERGE

BEGINNING HIS CAREER AT CHRISTIE'S, PATRICK BRINGS DECADES OF EXPERIENCE IN THE CONTEMPORARY ART WORLD, OFFERING EXPERT GUIDANCE TO BOTH PRIVATE COLLECTORS AND CORPORATE CLIENTS.

For individuals
Whether you're acquiring your very first work or adding to a collection, Patrick offers honest, thoughtful guidance shaped entirely by your tastes and long-term goals. There's no agenda, no pressure, and no pushing you towards anything that isn't the right fit.

Getting started with collecting can feel daunting, and Patrick is great at helping newcomers navigate what can seem like an overwhelming world, demystifying the market, explaining how pricing works, and helping you develop your eye over time. For more seasoned collectors, he offers a strategic level of support, identifying opportunities and ensuring the works you acquire continue to excite and resonate as your taste evolves.

He works closely with a carefully chosen group of artists whose work he genuinely believes in, and has spent decades cultivating relationships with respected galleries, dealers, and auction houses - meaning he's well placed to open doors and give you access to works and opportunities that aren't always visible to the general public.

He also regularly helps collectors think through the selling side of things. Whether you're looking to part with a single piece or rethink a larger portion of your collection, Patrick will help you understand your options and find the most effective route to market.

On the corporate side
Patrick has worked with businesses across a wide range of industries, helping them use art to express their identity, inspire their employees, and engage visitors by creating spaces that leave a lasting impression. He understands that art in the workplace is about far more than decoration. Done well, it shapes atmosphere, sparks conversation, and gives an organisation a clear sense of personality that's hard to achieve any other way.

Whatever the scale of a project, he brings the same care and attention. Whether that's sourcing a single statement piece for a reception area, developing an art strategy across multiple locations, or working alongside architects and developers on a new build from the ground up, Patrick takes the time to understand each client's culture and values, to create the perfect solution.

Corporate clients include Balfour Beatty, British Telecom, Citi, Coca-Cola, Dell Computers, Historic Royal Palaces, MetLife, J.P. Morgan, Global Sage, Zurich Financial Services, Société Générale, The Kyte Group, and many others.
