Put your money where your heart is.

Life Imitates immerses inquisitive patrons in pioneering artist practices with twin goals: education and ethical acquisition.

When partnering with a collector, we mutually commit to a mode of curiosity, trust and self-discovery. Together, we tease out a written collection plan, set a budget and speak regularly.

We have represented collector interests in direct studio commissions by their favourite artists; bidding, and selling full collections at auction; and in negotiations with behemoths such as Pace, Gagosian, and Hauser & Wirth. We believe in empowerment via transparency—while also taking care of all the details.

Some clients say the process of learning about oneself-through-art feels therapeutic—while some equate it to an exorcism.

We believe that life eventually improves when it imitates the lessons of insightful and forward thinking artmaking.
