how we work
Our clients value confidentiality and high-touch service, so we tailor our approach to each client’s needs.
We work with a wide-ranging client base: C-suite executives, high-net-worth individuals, seasoned and first-time collectors, artists, brands, property developers, and interior designers.
Due to the nature of our work, we maintain a non-public client roster.
When it comes to securing art for our clientele, every work is hand-selected, sourced, or commissioned through our multi-channel network.
PAC exists to bridge gaps.
Unlike traditional consultancies, galleries, or agencies, PAC is fully independent. Our only loyalty is to our clients’ vision.
