Art-filled spaces spark thought, creativity, and connection.
LB Consulting brings art world expertise and a warm, personal approach to helping individuals and businesses engage with artists and acquire quality work.
Leveraging an expansive network of artists, galleries, and art spaces, we open doors to the art world and help clients develop a vision, trust their instincts, and make bold choices. We focus on art from the mid-20th century to now, and especially enjoy leading clients toward emerging and underrepresented artists who are making museum-quality work.
PRIVATE CLIENTS
Every engagement starts with a meeting to discuss your goals, taste, and vision for bringing art into your life and home. From there, we’ll create a plan that may include studio, gallery, or museum visits, review and refinement of current holdings, new art acquisitions, or commissions of original work. We provide support every step of the way, from understanding your point of view, to compiling curated art selections, to art placement and installation. Whether you’re looking to learn, meet artists, tap an art expert to work with your interior designer, find one great piece, or develop a collection over time, we’ll tailor an approach to meet your needs, timeline, and budget.
