Guided by a passion for genuine collaboration and the unerring belief in art’s life-enhancing powers, the advisory advocates a subjective, human-centric approach to collecting. Instead of following art market trends or purely strategic criteria, JVDW puts an emphasis on personal values and considerations. Recognizing the unique taste of each client, as well as the specific characteristics of individual artistic positions, he enters into close dialogue to forge substantial connections—regardless of whether it’s about a single acquisition or a long-term liaison geared toward an enduring collection. With a focus on contemporary art of both established and emerging artists, the advisory builds on broad expertise, an ever-expanding, international network, a thorough understanding of the art world, and a sure sense of meaningful matches between art and people.
