New York, New York, It's The Art Market Town . . . . Though not everyone can afford the time to visit New York City to make their art purchases, it is official that New York is indeed, the Art Capital of the World! Art auction seasons in New York start rolling at feverish paces and leave dealers, long-time observers and analysts flabbergasted by the succession of multi-million dollar prices that quality art continues to fetch on the auction block. We are here to help you with all of your fine art needs.

          We maintain the highest level of integrity and expertise in the international art and auction community. The breadth of our expertise is extraordinary. We are among the most knowledgeable and discriminating arbiters of taste in the world of fine art. When buying or selling the world's rarest and most valuable artwork, our worldwide clientele have the utmost trust and feel at ease and confident - knowing we will guide them through their purchase or sale.

          We are located on Manhattan's Upper East Side (just 5 blocks from Sotheby's International Art Auction House) where market trends and developments can be observed early enough to capitalize on them. With the weakened world economy, the fine art market may well be the last remaining fail-safe hedge against inflation.

          Not everyone can hop over to New York for their fine art acquisitions. This is why so many of our clientele have found the services of Elaine's Fine Art so valuable. We bring the best and most carefully selected offerings to you -- wherever you may live. The fine art market is a rapidly changing field that requires close attention to the latest trends and movements throughout the international art market. For those new to the field, or living a good distance from the fine art market, sound guidance is needed in order to make wise decisions.

          We keep in close touch with the international art world. Every trend, every movement is closely watched in order to develop an accurate and systematic projection of what trends are currently transpiring and which are being contemplated. This enables us to accurately advise our clientele. Whether a client is considering their first purchase or sale or are experienced in the art market, we provide unbiased insight and the expertise to facilitate their purchase or sale.

          We have a no-frills, no-nonsense approach. We offer our clientele carefully selected art by proven artists, living and dead. We handle artwork from prominent collections, as well as corporations, foundations, museums, and private owners around the globe. All of these artists share one specific accomplishment - their works are all known within the international art market. Our contacts within the worldwide art market enable us to offer our clientele rare selections that are available only through us. Our creed is simple. Past experience has demonstrated that works of art, carefully selected, will eventually appreciate in value. Art…an investment in beauty…a beautiful investment.

          The following list represents only a sampling of the artists whose works we both buy and sell for our private international clientele: Calder, Cezanne, Chagall, Dali, Degas, DeKooning, Dine, Erte, Giacometti, Haring, Hart, Hockney, Indiana, Kadinsky, Leger, Lichtenstein, Magritte, Maillol, Manet, Matisse, Max, Miro, Monet, Moore, Motherwell, Neiman, Picasso, Pissaro, Rauschenberg, Renoir, Rockwell, Rodan, Rosenquist, Sisley, Stella, Vasarely, Warhol, Wesselman, Van Gogh, and many others.

          Every precaution is exercised to both prevent undue exposure of unsold art and to protect the privacy of both sellers and buyers. If clients require assistance with either current appraisals or condition reports, we will advise and/or recommend appropriate experts. Collections/estates/individual works of art are each conscientiously handled with confidentiality, expertise and efficiency.

          We take great pleasure in providing our clientele with the best that the art world has to offer. Please feel free to contact us at elainesfineart@vzavenue.net for price quotes on any original paintings, watercolors, drawings, sculptures and/or limited edition prints by the masters or by past and present contemporary artists. We appreciate your interest and enjoy working with clientele who recognize and appreciate the skill, integrity and prestige of collecting fine art.
