Team of dreams!! We are a full service art advisory firm. What does that mean? We handle art acquisitions, collection management, logistics, framing, installation, philanthropic advising and curate exhibitions. We work with private individuals, corporations, family offices and fiduciaries. We believe in the ability of art to change lives, help see the world differently and at times push us out of our comfort zone. 📸

In November 2020 I was introduced to Roz Zander, a force across so many fields: family therapy, writing, music and ART! A plein air painter whose goal is to make us more aware of the beauty of nature ‘, she has honed her craft over decades. Next week we open her retrospective, “Rosamund Zander: En Plein Air” at the Cyclorama. The exhibition is free and open to the public. It had been a labor of love and I feel truly lucky to have gotten to know Roz, be surrounded by her incredible talent and pull this show together with the help of my amazing team . Please come visit us !!

Installed 5 (!) paintings on paperboard for a client yesterday. 3 in the primary bedroom and 2 in the hallway of an apartment downtown. Love the subtly of these gilt frames too!

Meet the team! We’ve grown to take on more projects and work with more clients. I'm excited to share a few new faces who have joined the Powell Fine Art Advisory team.
Over the last year, many of you have had a chance to meet , who in addition to working on all client projects has been leading strategy.
With the start of 2022, we welcome who will be working with me and Lilah on existing client projects, proposals, and new business development.
At the end of 2021 joined us to run our special projects. Stay tuned as we share more information for an exhibition we are planning in April.

We were lucky enough to snag a ticket to the for the last day of the important exhibition “Titian: Women, Myth and Power”and our first museum visit of 2022. Between 1551 and 1562, Titian created a series of monumental paintings for King Philip II of Spain. Celebrated as landmarks of western painting, the six poesie — or painted poetries — envision epic stories from classical Antiquity. For the first time in over four centuries, Isabella Stewart Gardner’s fully restored R**e of Europa is reunited with its five companions in the exhibition. In 1896 Isabella Stewart Gardner acquired the first Titian to be owned in America.

Winter break is almost over and I’m definitely going to miss my little helper who accompanied me to galleries and framers over these last two weeks. It makes me happier than I ever imagined watching her interact with artwork. She also has the “point” down. A few favorite new phases she says are “artwork for mommy’s clients” and “can we go to the museum today?” Music to my ears!

Visiting in Chelsea to follow up a quick meeting we had in Miami. We just sold a version of this Bernar Venet etching called “Three Indeterminate Lines” and are thinking about how fun these prints would look in a mudroom entrance where people are coming and going from the house all day long. Love the little Motherwell too!
12/10/2021
Shaken or stirred? 🍹🥃🍸Either way I’ll have mine on the rocks.
🧊🧊🧊 This painting by titled “Sunken Treasure” was installed in my client’s home bar and we love the connection to cocktailing as well as the photorealistic painting style. Happy Friday! 🥂

Susan Goldsmith begins each piece by photographing and then digitally reworking her images — cropping, adjusting color values, and dropping out backgrounds. With gloved fingers, she builds up her images, alternating layers of resin, thinned paint, and silver leaf. The resulting works glow as if lit from within. The layers of resin refract light, with the luster of silver leaf a grounding backdrop for the composition.

We installed 5 new pieces by some of our favorite artists for a client just in time for the holidays. 1. in the dining room 2. Roy Germon on the stair landing 3. in the mudroom (love that trophy) 4. in the back hallway.

Miami Beach opened today and we spent 5 hours at the fair and still feel like we just scratched the surface. Fun seeing so many portfolios and large sets of work installed.

and saw a lot of great work. Themes include: neon, maximalism, still life (in neon), figuration (lots), color & massive scale. Lots to see and we are just getting started!

I feel so grateful throughout the year that I get to spend my time with wonderful art and clients, but I’m especially cognizant of it during this week leading up to Thanksgiving. We placed this Hunt Slonem painting titled “Six More” last week and it’s the perfect addition because each bunny represents a child in the family! (I get all my parenting advice from this client & ) 🐰🐇🐰🐇🐰🐇

Looking at this painting for a client for a client in Chicago. Titled “Portrait 45, after Ingres’ La Grande Odalisque (Odalisque with Thistle)”. Swipe for details of the patterning that comprises the surface of the painting. I love the art historical references and contemporary take on traditional Odalisque paintings.
11/16/2021
For a Greek client we found this beautiful painting of Skiathos by Benoit Trimborn and I couldn’t be more pleased with how it turned out! We’ve installed it temporarily for the holidays and will plan to frame it in the new year.

Massive Frank Stella titled “Takht-i-Sulayman Variation I” from the Cranbrook Museum, sold to benefit future acquisitions - 120 x 240 in. — for scale!!

November means the major Impressionist & Modern and Contemporary Art auctions in New York at Christie’s and Sotheby’s. Having worked for both houses, we love going back to see the previews and scout works for clients as well as get a sense for the auction climate and market analysis. Christie’s had great results led by the Cox collection last week and Sotheby’s is offering the Macklowe collection this Monday.

Lilah checked out some new paintings yesterday. Love seeing them in natural light.

We had the best time seeing exhibition “Infinite Indigenous Q***r Love” — as put it in his review — “Round the corner into the gloom and the exhibition’s aha moment: Three bright monoliths hovering light-as-air above the gallery floor, crisp and sharp and imbued with an elegance so overpowering that I literally had to catch my breath.”

Big thank you to Tricia from for lending a hand during our client viewing last week. A key part of our process is bringing artwork to our client so they can experience it in their space. We are also tremendously grateful to our client who let us borrow their “Starling Express” by Adam Thomas for the presentation. We weren’t able to get a painting by Thomas to the east coast in time, so they graciously let us theirs. We have the best clients and collaborators!

This *epic* 60 x 60 in. painting by from her “Pond Reflections” series was installed for my client yesterday. We loved how every member of the family enjoyed the painting in their own way. From the toddler picking out her favorite color (pink 💕, obvi) and ➡️ swipe to see the most discerning family members (🐶🐶🐶) strike a pose 🦴. This painting held particular importance to Julia and her pup , so we are ecstatic it has entered a home that will love it forever. The beauty of art is how it connects us, meeting us where we are in life, be it a young child or our four legged friends. 🖼❤️

is in NYC to see the auction previews, go to and pop into a few of our galleries for clients. She spent the afternoon with and we couldn’t be more grateful for the time and the beautiful works we got to look at on behalf of our clients. Nothing better than seeing art in person!

Glowing after visiting .shadows.art today to see their show “Space Folding”. Clar creates radiant lines of color using an arrangement of LED tubes with colored light filters. Both meditative and visually dynamic, they unfold the more you look. Light work that is truly live-able.

Making a custom box to transport this extremely fragile painting by Masako Kamiya. Using acrylic gouache, she puts down a dot of paint, lets it dry, then adds another. She repeats the process until stalactites of differing heights emerge. Each layer on the surface, or dot, is of a different color, so the work, observed from an angle, becomes a forest of multi-colored columns. These meditative and optically engaging pieces remind me of a contemporary take on pointillism.

When we first spoke with this client, she had spent about a year researching, looking and thinking a lot about what she wanted the space to feel like in her coastal home. We knew would be the perfect match, an artist who is based on Martha’s Vineyard, she has carefully observed and studied the inlets, estuaries, meadows and coastline of her beautiful island. We think all of this looking, from both the client and artist, is part of the magic and why this space came together so perfectly.

Always enamored with . saw these last month when she was at the in NYC and they are the pop of color and memory of summer I need on this rainy dreary late October day. “Goldenrod” on the left and “Red Dogwood” on the right are new editions by Katz from this year.

What a difference a paper conservator and reframing can do to revitalize this fantastic pen and ink drawing a client inherited. Swipe to see the before and after! When I first saw it the light stained mat had turned yellow along with some light damage on the sheet. A paper conservator was able to reduce some of the damage to the piece which made a huge impact — the colors are so much more vibrant now. We selected this inky-blue frame that makes the whole work really pop!

A fun corner in a family kitchen where we framed artwork by very emerging artists 👨🎨 ☺️ Professionally framing and installing elevates the pieces and makes the space really feel like home, the boys who made the work were pretty excited too 🖼 🎨🖌

I was in the back room with and can’t get this Sally Michel Avery painting “Approaching the Fence (Horse Show)” from 1968. Sally Michel Avery shared a studio with her husband, artist Milton Avery for decades. Together, the two created a visual language of simplified graphic forms imbued with the vibrant colors of Fauvism. Michel studied at New York’s Art Students League and spent her career creating enticing, expressionistic landscapes, figures, and still lifes in oil and watercolor, many inspired by the charms of daily life and her love of Gloucester, Massachusetts. With its flattened foreground and background and color palette similar to that of Henri Matisse, Michel’s work has been referred to as an “American folk art version of Parisian Modernism.”

Titled ‘Blue Pink Purple Shift Moon 47’ these devastatingly beautiful paintings shift in color as you move in the space. Made from dye, pigment and resin on aluminum, they really are like nothing I’ve ever seen before.”
