Luma Arte Contemporanea is an independent art advisory and gallery focused on modern and contemporary art, working with private collectors, professionals, and institutions through tailored guidance and curated selections.
Based in Italy and active internationally, Luma supports clients in navigating the art market with clarity, discretion, and long-term vision. Advisory is at the core of our practice: each acquisition is considered within a broader cultural, historical, and strategic framework. Each project is developed through a precise analysis of the context, the artworks, and the collector’s objectives.
Art Advisory
Luma Arte Contemporanea offers bespoke advisory services designed to accompany collectors at every stage of their journey, from first acquisitions to the development and consolidation of structured collections.
Our advisory activity is shaped by close listening, rigorous research, and a strong understanding of both primary and secondary markets. We work independently, prioritizing the interests of the client and the coherence of the collection over short-term transactions.
Our services include:
Collection Strategy
Support in defining collecting directions, areas of focus, and long-term objectives, with attention to historical relevance and market positioning.
Curated Recommendations
Carefully selected proposals aligned with the client’s sensibility, context, and budget, spanning established masters and contemporary practices.
Market & Due Diligence
Guidance on market dynamics, price positioning, provenance, authenticity, and condition, ensuring informed and confident acquisitions.
Acquisition & Logistics
Assistance throughout the acquisition process, including negotiation, documentation, shipping, insurance, and installation coordination.
Collection Care
Ongoing advisory for the management, conservation, display, and evolution of collections over time.
The Gallery
Alongside its advisory activity, Luma Arte Contemporanea operates as a gallery, presenting a curated selection of modern and contemporary artworks. The gallery’s program reflects the same principles that guide its advisory work: quality, coherence, and cultural significance.
Luma collaborates with selected artists and estates, and presents works through online platforms such as Artsy, as well as through exhibitions, art fairs, and private viewings. Gallery activity functions as a space for research, dialogue, and carefully contextualized presentations rather than volume-driven sales.
All works are available through direct contact with the gallery, ensuring a transparent and informed exchange.
How We Work
Each collaboration begins with a direct conversation. From there, we develop a structured and confidential working relationship based on trust, continuity, and shared objectives. Our role is not limited to sourcing artworks, but to offering perspective and long-term guidance.
Luma Arte Contemporanea is led by professionals with long-standing experience in the contemporary art market, combining advisory expertise with curatorial sensitivity and operational knowledge.
