Tilman Kriesel
Art Advisors

  • We provide independent and comprehensive consulting services in the international art world. We impart content, structure the set-up of high-quality art collections, offer comprehensive collection management and support with sales processes.

  • Only those who are willing to learn to 'see', those who compare, question and are interested in content will be able to rely on their intuition. What is personally 'pleasing' does not necessarily have to be recognised quality - certainly not significant, preserving value or even relevant.

  • 'First Choice' is often decisive in gaining access to the highest quality art works. Our selected customers benefit from content mediation and a personal network to the most interesting dealers, artists, artworks and prices.

Collecting Services

  • Independent Consulting: With a skilled eye and prudent advice from a well-connected link in the art business, it is important to find - and get - the highest quality artworks. As a service provider with empathy and passion, he accompanies all aspects from purchase to sale.

  • Art Mediation: A professional consultation always includes a wide variety of forms of mediation in terms of content: visits to trade fairs, art trips, curation or lectures on various themes of the collection's structure or on current topics.

  • Investment: "Art has enriched me more than any material possession", Bernhard Sprengel. If you see art as speculation, you will never recognize its value. The economic return on investment can far exceed the emotional value.

  • Value appraisal: The value and price of an image can vary greatly. We are commissioned with the valuation of estates or individual works of art - to determine the replacement value or the so-called recoverable market value.

  • The collection management includes valuation, restoration, archiving, transport, documentation, insurance, storage, curation, curation, loan transactions, tax issues, buying and selling, strategy consulting for building up the collection, and much more.

  • Artist agent: As an independent actor in the network of the art market, we combine all interests in the field of tension between: collector - artist - trader. Thus, we also place promising talents for the long-term promotion of galleries and dealers.

  • Collection dissolution: What has been gathered over many years to be destroyed by auctions is not always the best option. Placing, optimizing, continuing, giving or even donating a collection requires weighing up the possibilities.

  • Place-Making has been proven to enhance real estate and enhance the image of various products. However, in order to realize projects or cooperations with companies, technical understanding of construction processes is essential.

  • Yacht Art Management (Flyer) Special requirements apply to the placement of high-quality works of art on yachts. Sunlight, moisture, movement, lack of space and safety require expertise - which we offer with our experienced partners from the yacht world.

Press

  • Due to his family background, Tilman Kriesel became passionately involved in countless engagements in the art world at an early age. As a trained architect and project developer, he was increasingly sought out for his attitude in the art world. Today he builds up collections and shares his passion with the familiar.

  • Today his family is still committed to quality - the motto of his grandfather, the chocolate manufacturer and famous art patron Dr. Bernhard Sprengel: 'Curiosity is the key to the content', and the confrontation with hitherto unknown things is part of the intellectual family heritage.
