BARNES Art & Design

As a key player in the luxury property market, BARNES is constantly developing its expertise to meet the expectations of its French and international clientele.

As an ambassador for the French art de vivre, BARNES has been an active player in the art market since 2000 and hosts regular exhibitions in the prestigious locations in which the company has offices, as well as partnering major artistic events.

Under the impetus of the group’s founder, Heidi Barnes, we wanted to take our commitment even further. Thus BARNES Art & Design was created, a bespoke art acquisition consultancy service.

BARNES Art & Design

Art acquisition consultancy is a specialist field within the art market that involves supporting collectors, art lovers and investors alike in their decision to purchase a work of art. BARNES Art & Design constantly strives to achieve excellence and high standards, and works with recognised experts to provide you with the best possible advice.

Art expertise, valuation and research, network and market access, negotiation, collection management, diversification and investment strategy, and tax and legal advice are just some of the areas of expertise that will need to be considered before buying or selling a work of art. Fortunately, we can offer expertise in all of the above fields under one roof to guarantee a tailored approach to your acquisition.

Let BARNES take care of your works of art

You don’t achieve benchmark status in luxury real estate without extensive technical and human expertise. As part of the support we provide to our customers in their plans to buy or sell a property, we assist with certain administrative and logistical procedures relating to their art assets. BARNES Art & Design has a network of professionals capable of handling the transport, installation, insurance and, if needed, restoration of your works of art.

Art may be a passion, but becoming a collector is something you learn. BARNES Art & Design is an invaluable partner when it comes to building a substantial art asset portfolio while living your passion to the full.
