Perspectives on Art for Collectors & Enthusiasts

Art is more than an object—it carries history, emotion, and intent. Through a personal and informed perspective, SSA Art Cabinet offers reflections on collecting, curating, and appreciating art in meaningful ways. Whether exploring new acquisitions or rediscovering existing pieces, the journey is as important as the collection itself.

Deepening the Connection with Your Art

Owning art is an ongoing dialogue between the collector, the artwork, and its context. Understanding its significance, provenance, and artistic intent transforms a collection into a narrative. Through years of experience in the art market, I share insights that help unveil layers of meaning in each piece, offering a richer, more immersive engagement with your collection.

With over two decades navigating the art world, my approach to curation is shaped by both market expertise and a deep appreciation for artistic narratives. From Post-War to Contemporary, from editions to singular works, my experience lies in identifying connections—between artists, movements, and collectors. SSA Art Cabinet is a space for reflecting on these dialogues, where every piece finds its place in a broader artistic conversation.

Attribution and authenticity are at the core of art’s historical and cultural significance. Identifying an artwork’s origins, materials, and artistic intent is an evolving process—one that merges connoisseurship, technical analysis, and historical research.

  • The Expert Perspective – Art history and the market have long debated questions of attribution. Through extensive research, comparative analysis, and a critical approach, insights emerge that shape our understanding of authenticity.

  • Scientific Insights & Material Analysis – Advancements in technology offer new ways to explore an artwork’s structure, from pigment composition to infrared imaging. These tools complement expertise, revealing hidden layers of information.

  • A Global Conversation – Authentication is never an isolated process. It involves dialogue between scholars, institutions, and archival sources, ensuring that attributions are examined within a wider, well-documented framework.

The pursuit of authenticity is not only about market validation—it is about safeguarding art’s legacy, ensuring its rightful place in history, and appreciating its intrinsic value beyond commercial worth.
