The right commercial gallery forges the artist’s market identity and controls the narrative around their value.

Gardarin works with artists to identify aligned gallery representations, their extensive networks and established placement strategies. It engineers the conditions for meaningful partnerships, founded on a deep understanding of which spaces carry valuable cultural significance. This relationship is curatorial, as much as commercial.

Gardarin starts by conducting a complete audit of the artist’s career and positioning.

The agency analyzes each artist’s market by region, period and series, from primary to secondary sales. It assesses and grades current inventory, and covers exhibition history and inclusion in museums collections.

Based on these comprehensive insights, Gardarin identifies partnerships as well as recommend strategic collaborations with new galleries to expand into new markets.
