Trusted fine art dealers for more than 35 years.
Fine Art Brokers, the art advisory and art brokerage firm, was co-founded in London in 1996 by experienced art market specialist, Ray Waterhouse. Ray moved to New York in 2010 and leads the excellent teams in New York and London.
Buying Art
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.
Selling Art
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.
Auction
Services
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.
Let Fine Art Brokers guide you in curating a collection that enhances your home or office and can potentially enrich your life.
Discover the benefits of working with expert fine art dealers who tailor their advice to your taste and budget, and understand the art of collecting. Contact our experts today to begin your journey.
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.
Collection Management
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.
Estates & Fiduciaries
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.
