CURATED LIBRARIES

Libraries are places of learning, exploration and creative expression. They possess the power of our collective wisdom—and our shared humanity. Every library tells a story, possesses its own individual texture and feel. Our expert team of library builders will be delighted to help shape yours.
With decades of experience buying and selling the best in art, photography, design and architecture books, our staff possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of the international arts publishing world.


Our clients
We partner with private collectors, design professionals and cultural institutions to put together customized libraries, large and small. After listening to our clients' wants and needs, we apply creativity and deep connoisseurship to assemble a collection that ideally serves their purpose, whether that is for reference, study, research—or, simply, the joys of reading and looking.

Scope and scale
From international museums to boutique hotels, from blue-chip galleries to architecture and interior design firms, we consult on professional libraries of every size and scale. We are pleased to add to preexisting collections, or to start from scratch.

Private library collections
We work with both emerging and seasoned collectors to assemble sophisticated and surprising selections according to their personal tastes—and to the highest curatorial standard. Whether it’s an in-depth examination of a particular movement in modern and contemporary art or a holistic overview of important backlist books, seminal monographs, and indie press titles, we build to suit.

Looking back—and ahead
We can help locate out-of-print and rare art, photo, design and architecture selections as well as artists' books and limited editions through our trusted network of international dealers. Looking forward, our team will be happy to offer seasonal updates and recommend new publications to ensure the ongoing success of your library.
