Fine Art Brokers, the art advisory and art brokerage firm, was founded in London in 1966 by experienced art market specialist, Ray Waterhouse, aided at the time by Jonathan Dodd. Ray now leads the excellent team from the New York head office, with expertise covering European and American art from 1860 to the present day.
We work with clients in different ways according to their knowledge, taste and budget. For all clients we use our global network to source art, then we provide market reports, make recommendations based on our knowledge of the market and our client’s taste and help negotiate purchases.
We sourced this fine example in the UK for a client in Calfornia. We then checked on condition, researched value and negotiated the purchase and delivery to his home.
A French client inherited this wonderful Gericault and wanted a private sale which we managed within two months. We helped establish this was the original version and that the one in the Louvre in Paris was a replica. We helped sell the painting to The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

We sold this rare large print by Lee Ufan to a collector in South Korea, acting on behalf of a prominent Asian art collector. We conducted in-depth market research and analysis before securing a successful placement.
We can access, explain and navigate the world of art auctions for you. Auctions can sometimes be daunting – the number of works on view, the conflicting estimates, the lack of guarantees, the terminology and of course the bidding. Fine Art Brokers can help you find, research and bid with confidence in auctions.
We advised a private client on the purchase of this piece in London in 2000 and, after bidding successfully, arranged the delivery to New York. After our client’s passing in 2013, we helped broker the painting on behalf of the estate. Since 2000, the value has increased fourfold.
We provide strategic services for planning, curating and budgeting when building and owning a collection. We also offer guidance on insurance and logistics and are pro-active in suggesting favorable times to deaccession.
We work closely with trusts, estates and fiduciaries to arrange valuations, discuss and orchestrate private sales and negotiate with auction houses. It is important to have an in-depth understanding of the market and sales process when consigning estates to auction.
