Before we begin
A few useful answers.
Do I need to have collected before?
No. A first acquisition can begin with curiosity, a space and a budget. You do not need an established collection or a fixed list of artists.
Can I inquire about Joe Taveras’s work?
Yes. Mention Joe Taveras in your brief, along with any work or body of work that interests you. Availability and details are confirmed individually.
Are prices and availability guaranteed?
Availability and final terms are confirmed for each work. Shipping, installation, taxes and other costs are discussed separately where applicable.
