Why Advisory
Collecting contemporary art is both a personal and a financial decision. Our advisory service helps you navigate artists, works, and timing with clarity, so you can collect with confidence.
What You Receive
- Curated recommendations from Belanger’s contemporary inventory (original contemporary artworks only)
- Context on artists, materials, and market positioning
- Fit analysis for space, budget, size, and medium
- Price transparency and availability checks
- Logistics plan (packing, insured shipping, delivery timeline)
- Documentation guidance (Certificate of Authenticity & Certificate of Origin)
Scope (Phase 1)
Our advisors primarily guide you through Belanger – The Collections’ catalog. Recommendations are drawn from our curated works and directly supported by our platform’s protections (Belanger Coverage, Art Collectors Protection Program, and Stripe™ payment security).
Private Market Accompaniment (Optional)
When appropriate and on request, we can accompany collectors into private opportunities and discreet collections through our network. These introductions are handled case-by-case to preserve discretion, fair pricing, and proper documentation. External transactions may require additional verification and shipping coordination.
Financial Guidance (High-Level, Non-Investment)
Advisors can discuss budget frameworks, collection strategy, and long-term stewardship. We do not provide investment, tax, or legal advice. For regulated matters, we will collaborate with your professional advisors.
How It Works
- Share your brief: goals, space, preferred styles, budget range, timeline.
- Meet your advisor: email, phone, or video.
- Review shortlists: high-resolution views, scale cues, and placement ideas.
- Decide & acquire: secure checkout via Stripe™.
- Receive & document: museum-grade packing, full-value insurance, signature on delivery, COA & Certificate of Origin.
Privacy & Trust
Our computing environment is isolated from external trackers. We do not use third-party analytics or data brokers. Non-director staff only access the minimum needed to assist (first name, city, shipping info; email/phone for support).
Fees
Advisory is complimentary for acquisitions made through Belanger – The Collections. There are no added fees for the collector; standard artwork pricing applies. For private market accompaniment, terms are discussed transparently before any introduction.
Key Safeguards
- Belanger Coverage: full shipping coverage and pre-shipment protection.
- Art Collectors Protection Program: clear pathways for claims, exchanges, or refunds where applicable.
- Dispatch target: hand-off to carrier within five (5) business days (excluding official holidays).
