With the cross section of Butera Art Advisory services, we can assist corporate and institutional clients of all sizes in the building, managing, selling, donating and appraising their collections of fine art, decorative art and other collectibles. 

In coordination with our sales advisory, appraisal, and collection management teams, the head of our curatorial projects, Dr. Ginny Butera, will work with the client to create a targeted and curated collection that will reflect the company’s values, foster inspiration among employees or meet other goals for the collection. This is done through curating temporary and permanent exhibitions utilizing the existing collection and/or through the development and implementation of an art program and a long-term strategy for the art collection and how it can be leveraged to enhance the Client’s culture.

Our appraisal team can provide and lend ongoing support to ensure appraised values remain current for insurance, financial planning and other needs.

Our sales advisory team, in close coordination with the corporate client, works closely with the curatorial team to identify works from the collection for potential sale. We support our clients on every step of the sales process and advise on where, when and how to sell to maximize return. By leveraging our deep relationships with primary market and secondary market sources, our sales advisory team has access to preferential terms at auction and competitive sales solutions in all collecting categories. 

For ongoing management of the collection, Butera Art Advisory can organize and oversee framing, cleaning, restoration, conservation, shipping, installation and other aspects in protecting, marketing and promoting the corporate collection.

In my 50+ year career in the arts, there have been very few individuals I would recommend with such keen enthusiasm and delight as I now recommend Ginny Butera, PhD. I have known Dr. Butera for over two decades and have worked with her in multiple capacities: as a curator, lecturer, program creator and educator. Dr. Butera thinks “outside the box,” pursuing creative, interdisciplinary connections, as in her pairings of art exhibits with musical performances (at least one of which garnered NEA funding). In fact, her vision and efforts elevate her exhibitions to ones of significant distinction – worthy of federal grants and attention in major media outlets. Dr. Butera is a favorite among curators, sought after not only for her extensive knowledge of artists and styles but also for her ability to synthesize and realize her client’s thoughts about each exhibit. The results have been uniformly excellent – with exhibits that have been visually beautiful, thought-provoking and highly stimulating.

Curating, at its best, is finding hidden relationships between two or more things. That art of recognizing kindred traits in two disparate works, placing them next to or near each other, so that their new relationship can bloom, only comes from someone with a great eye and a mountain of experience. A great curator, like a mysterious matchmaker, engineers enduring relationships. Dr. Ginny Butera is a great curator and highly recognized for her curatorial work and keen eye. I have been extremely fortunate to be part of several of her juried exhibitions at different corporate and non-profit spaces in New Jersey and had her curate a solo exhibition of my work at a non-profit space.
