COLLECTOR EDUCATION
Our team has a thorough understanding of the art market and collecting in the Greater China region. We design and deliver bespoke comprehensive study tour programmes in the UK for Chinese speaking collectors to address the challenges they are facing. We provide programmes in two sectors: contemporary arts and fine jewellery. We also have years of successful record in running arts programmes for Executive Education for overseas business schools.
We work closely with the UK’s leading auctioneers, specialists, museums and universities to ensure the standard of our training stays high. In addition, our in-depth knowledge of the Chinese art market allows us to best position our programmes and address the most in-demand topics.
CASE STUDY
Art Collector Frieze Programme
This London study tour was designed for experienced contemporary art collectors and gallerists. The programme was delivered around Frieze Art Fair in London, where attendees learned about and experienced the vibrant London contemporary art scene. Highlights of the programme included a modern art history review at renowned CSM, a private gallery, a museum and studio visit led by a senior art specialist, and of course, a private visit to Frieze Art Fair. At the end of the programme, attendees successfully gained insights of the British contemporary art market, the current trends, artists’ practices, as well as the skills to assess contemporary arts practices from a historical perspective.

A study tour dedicated to junior jewellery collectors. The programme was led by the jewellery curator at the V&A museum. Highlights of the course included an in-depth review of jewellery history from 16th century to date, a summary of the characteristics of jewellery in different historical periods, jewellery future trends, and a visit to the primary and secondary markets. At the end of the programme the attendees gained essential knowledge to better guide their future collecting activities.

In respond to the global pandemic, we started online content creation in mid-2020 while UK was in deep lockdown, and quickly won the favour of millions of viewers around the world. To date, our art collecting themed videos have received 8 million views across all major leading Chinese and international social media platforms.
