When planning an event, flower arrangements are more than decorative. Their height can affect auction success and table conversations. Don't let a tall centerpiece block your auctioneer or hinder chatter. Also, consider the scent, not just the look. Make each detail count for a seamless experience! #events #success #planning #auction #seamlessexperience

🖼️🔨🌟 This spring at Christie’s NY, they're not just raising the auction hammer, they're elevating the entire art market. On offer: a $35M Van Gogh and a $30.9M Brice Marden. While skyscrapers and pizzas keep soaring, so too are the ambitions of our astute collectors, who aren't merely buying art, they're shaping the future of aesthetics. Other events across the city reflect a robust blend of cultural heritage and cutting-edge artistry, suggesting a vibrant, albeit pricey, art ecosystem. But here's a thought for the financially savvy and culturally astute: What trends will emerge from these high-stake auctions? Are our collectors the trendsetters of tomorrow's art scene?

The Second (Brilliant) Reason To Use An Art Consultant When Acquiring Through An Art Auction Just to catch you up in case you missed it, the first reason to use an art consultant if you want to acquire art through an auction is that an art consultant can help you determine if the minimum bid is really a bargain, or a fair market price, for that artist and for that form of art.  The second reason is that auctions have many items at one auction and it can be hours before your item comes up for bidding. If you want to see the entire auction, that can be an exciting way to spend three or four hours. In person or online, it’s fun to watch what is selling, what is getting multiple bids, which lots are passed (meaning no bidders or not a high enough bid) and which items are sold – particularly if they go far above the estimated bid amount! However, if you have a job, or have kids to pick up or drop off, or have a class, or aren’t interested in watching the auction and simply want to own the item, you are better off to ask your art consultant to bid on it as your representative.   It is then the consultant’s job to ensure that they are attentive to which lots are coming up and to be ready to bid when your lot opens. After what can be hours of waiting for a specific item to come up, the actual bidding process for a single lot typically takes just a few minutes and it’s over. (I realize they make it look a lot longer, and more titillating, in movies.) After all, the auctioneers are business people. Even moving quickly, the auction houses are using several of their team for those four hours it takes to get through the many items. So for each item, they put the lot up, call for bids, ask for higher bids, and when those stop coming, they do a brief warning (maybe 10 seconds) and hammer the item closed. It might be more fun for you to hire an art consultant to put in those four hours and you just go about your life and perhaps get an excited call from your consultant telling you that you have, indeed, obtained a desired piece for the price you were willing to pay!

New series of sculptures using wine wood. Moving to Bevaix, Switzerland was a big change, no.made@atelier was born. Searching the Soul of Wine is a new series of small and very delicate sculptures, a new technical challenge and a quite different approach to wood carving. #homofaberguide #woodcarving #artdesign

The process Over the past 12 years of entrepreneurship, I've developed a diverse set of skills through my various business ventures. I'm thrilled to say that I've been able to harness all these experiences into a single project that truly showcases my journey. This project not only encapsulates my approach to brand concept and design but extends through every facet of digital asset creation and site design. It's a testament to how far I've come and what can be achieved when you channel your experiences into one focused endeavor. The learning never stops, and every challenge is a new opportunity for growth. #BrandDevelopment #Entrepreneurship #DigitalDesign #AlwaysLearning" #BrandDevelopment #Entrepreneurship #DigitalDesign

Art appreciation: does graffiti add value to buildings? via RICS https://lnkd.in/g74_E3uN #Graffiti has come a long way since its early days as a largely illegal form of #artisticexpression or political protest, often painted on underpasses or neglected sites where it was easier to work without fear of getting caught. In many major cities you’ll find #streetart walking tours of all the best murals and graffiti an area has to offer. For a #retailbusiness, #bar or #café, this could be very valuable in terms of footfall and might prompt a business owner to hire someone to create a striking, tour-worthy work of art. “Companies in the housing and #realestate industry … use street art in a targeted manner to create a cool image for a project”

At a site visit, you’re not simply looking for the facts of the space or at the types of furniture available. Ideally, you should be walking through the space as your attendees would! Most sales teams are well versed in the art of the walkthrough, painting a picture of the possibilities in the space. They are not well versed in your attendees and different types of stakeholders that are attending the event. Make sure you have an idea of the types of people who will be attending your event and what their unique needs may be, that way you can ask the right questions and the sales teams can paint the right portraits! #sitevisits #eventplanning #eventmanagement
