Private Art Consulting

@mikaelbrandrup X @bentleymotors X @secretwalls X @privateartconsulting So amazing to work alongside an artist who is in so many ways, ahead of his time. The accompanying painting, “Afterglow,” will be up for auction with proceeds benefiting @innercityarts . @privateartconsulting #Bentley #collaboration #luxury #artcollab #artcollaboration

Just another Thursday in Miami with @hauteliving at @luckycatbygordonramsay presenting @gordongram with a painting called “The Chef is on Fire”🔥 by @thejohnathanschultz - made with yellow & rose gold Leaf. Never a dull day at @privateartconsulting . I’m so fortunate to get to work with the best in the business. Special thanks to @gordongram @thejohnathanschultz @gemznco @aprilirenedonelson @dmcomite @kamal @hauteliving @adriennefaurote @luckycatbygordonramsay 📸 @vegatron3 🙏 #privateartconsulting #gordonramsay #cheframsay #johnathanschultz #johnathanschultzgallery #hauteliving #luckycatmiami #artoftheday #commission #gold #rosegold #originalart #originalpainting

One of the largest underwater installations features 330 sculptures submerged just 5 meters below the surface at Divi Little Bay, Philipsburg, Sint Maarten. Only accessible by boat and off-limits to outside swimmers, each sculpture by @deep_blue_see_ltd , is made from a pH-neutral material. Designed to act as an artificial reef to encourages coral growth, marine life, and safe habitats for juvenile fish, this doesn’t extract from its environment. The installations tell the story of the island. Local residents were even used as models, grounding the work in real community identity. It’s locally operated. Revenue is reinvested into education, conservation, and research. It’s not just art in the ocean, it’s for the ocean. 🌊 #privateartconsulting #sculpture #oceanconservation #artinstallation #ecoart

These are not matchsticks. 🔥🕯️ At first glance, they’re visually clean and minimal. Then it hits you. 🧯 What looks like oversized humanoid matchsticks burned at the tip and then quickly extinguished is @wolfgang_stiller “Matchstick Men.” These sculptures were created using molds of real faces, then cast in materials like wax, wood, and resin. Slightly burned out. Slightly over it. Very relatable. We know burnout is real and things may not always be as they seem. That’s the tension Stiller plays with so well. #privateartconsulting #wolfgangstiller #sculpture #matchstickmen #burnout

Developers are commissioning museum-level public art for their buildings. Why? Cultural capital compounds. When a development integrates thoughtful artwork, not temporary staging, several things happen at once: ⚪️ Positioning: the building becomes a local landmark. ⚪️ Who it attracts: more than just residents. ⚪️ It protects differentiation: a permanent, site-integrated public artwork becomes synonymous with the address itself. At the Society building in Wynwood Miami, a 30-foot permanent sculpture by South African artist @danielpopper titled Lumen anchors the building’s 2nd Avenue entrance. Commissioned by @pmgdevelopment and @greybrook , the work is clad in cracked tile mosaic, both sculptural and experiential, monumental and energetic. Lumen isn’t décor. It’s become part of the building and part of Wynwood’s visual landscape. The most sophisticated projects today don’t treat art as an accessory. They treat it as infrastructure, identity, and long-term value creation. #publicart #artandrealestate #danielpopper #privateartconsulting

You rarely see an entire museum floor devoted to cartoon characters. When Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Batman, and The Simpsons stop being cute, comforting, and heroic, they become psychologically complex, disruptive, and even a little menacing. 🤓 At @icamiami , the late artist @joycepensato fills the entire third floor with dripping enamel, monumental scale, and decades of fixation. Perhaps the intention is to remind us that innocence and darkness will always coexist. #joycepensato #contemporaryart #cartoons #mickey #privateartconsulting

Italian fashion house @dolcegabbana staged a retrospective inside an art museum. Why? Museums legitimize! @icamiami is known for championing experimental, cross-disciplinary work that blurs the lines between art, design, craft, and identity. Within that framework, @dolcegabbana_exhibit at ICA Miami accomplishes several things at once: ⚪️ Positioning: cultural instead of commercial. ⚪️ Who it attracts: an audience primed for intellectual, historical, emotional, and aesthetic engagement. ⚪️ It foregrounds the process: through detail, craftsmanship, and the expertise required to design and execute at this level. When fashion is at this level, it is art. Therefore, it’s deserving of institutional context. #Privateartconsulting #dolcegabbana #artandfashion #artmuseums

🌊 @pamm sits right on the water next to the @frostscience . 🔭 Let’s see if it lives up to the view. 🫠 ✔️ The Crowd: For a Thursday, it was a lively mix of kids on school field trips mixed with locals. ✔️ The Artists: A strong mix of South American and American artists, plus a few museum regulars like Cy Twombly, we see you. Refreshingly, a solid representation of female artists like Gisela Colón. ✔️ The Art: Mixed media is having a moment. Plexiglass, wood, plastic, lead, and broken glass. Miami artist T. Elliott Manza clearly understood the assignment, creating a dark satirical artwork by incorporating toys, stuffed animals, plastic flowers, foliage, railroad tracks, an alligator head, acrylic, and wood into something that somehow works for a creepy yet fabulous sculptural wall piece. So how does work end up in the Pérez Art Museum Miami permanent collection? Most works were gifted to the museum, from collectors, artists, or both. Others are acquired directly by the museum using funds from its in-house Collectors Council, sometimes with additional contributors. Museums are curated ecosystems. Nothing is accidental and most works endure multiple review rounds, layers of consideration, and years before earning wall space. This is exactly why collectors and artists sometimes walk museums with an independent art advisor (no institutional agenda involved). @privateartconsulting believes in understanding context, tracking trajectories, and seeing what institutions are willing to invest wall space in, and why. Without the pressure of a sales floor, it becomes much easier to identify what actually resonates and how that might inform future decisions. #privateartconsulting #perezartmuseum #miami🌴 #museumart #artadvisory #artconsulting #artmuseum
