Art advisory

An advisor who knows the work.

Complimentary advice on what to acquire, what to pass over, and what a collection needs next.

COMPLIMENTARY ART ADVISORY

Personalized art recommendations tailored to your taste, space, and goals.

As your art advisor, we curate focusing entirely on your vision.

Aldo Castillo opened his gallery in Chicago in 1993 and has presented hundreds of exhibitions since. He represents 84 artists and receives collectors himself, at the gallery on Fifth Avenue South in Naples.

What the gallery does for you

Six ways Aldo works with collectors.

Collection development and strategic acquisitions: Where a collection should go next, and which acquisitions take it there. Aldo works to your taste, your rooms and your horizon.
Artwork selection and market evaluation: A shortlist drawn from the gallery and from the wider market, each work weighed against what is being asked for it.
Provenance and authenticity guidance: Ownership history, condition and attribution, examined before you commit. Every work the gallery offers is guaranteed to be by the artist named.
Installation and framing: Framing, lighting and placement, arranged with the trades the gallery uses for its own walls.
Museum and institutional placement: Introductions to curators and institutions when a work belongs in a public collection rather than a private one.
Estate and legacy planning: Inventory, valuation and the questions a family will one day need answered. Handled quietly.

How it works

Three conversations, then a decision.

You tell us what you have and what you are looking for.
At the gallery or by telephone. The rooms, the budget, and the works you already live with.
Aldo prepares a selection.
Works from the gallery and from the artists he represents, each with its price, its provenance and its condition.
You see the work before you decide.
On Fifth Avenue South, or in your own rooms. Nothing is acquired unseen, and there is no fee for the advice.

“Driven by a lifelong passion for art, Aldo Castillo believes in its power to connect people and cultures, champion exceptional artists, and enrich the lives of collectors.”
