Emma Grant is the Founder and Director of Grant Art Advisory, an independent advisory known for discreet, end-to-end stewardship of significant art collections. Over the past decade, Emma has advised private collectors, family offices, and cultural institutions on the full arc of collecting—sourcing and securing pivotal works, shaping and refining collections, and ensuring their presentation and preservation to the highest standard.
Her approach blends connoisseurship with a fiduciary mindset. Every engagement begins with evidence: authentication and title review, provenance and condition analysis, market comparables, and scenario testing for acquisition or sale. Emma’s clients rely on her for clear pricing guidance, disciplined negotiation in private sales and at auction, and timed exits that reflect both curatorial vision and market reality.
Emma’s expertise spans modern and contemporary art through post-war and historical categories. She is frequently engaged to lead collection assessments, develop retention and deaccession strategies, and commission site-specific works that harmonize with architecture and landscape. In collaboration with architects and interior designers, she addresses scale, sightlines, lighting, and conservation-minded specifications so that space and collection read as a single, coherent narrative.
Beyond transactions, Emma builds infrastructure: collection management systems with robust documentation, appraisal updates for insurance and planning, and logistics programs that cover packing, climate-controlled transport, customs, and white-glove installation. She coordinates seamlessly with clients’ legal, tax, and estate teams to align cultural assets with governance and generational goals.
Respected for her discretion and exacting standards, Emma maintains long-standing relationships across leading galleries, artist studios, estates, and auction specialists worldwide. Clients value her calm, data-driven counsel—particularly in complex negotiations, cross-border matters, and time-sensitive opportunities.
Emma holds a Masters of Art History from the Royal College of Fine Art. She divides her time between New York and London, traveling the world for clients, and leads a networked team of researchers, registrars, conservators, and specialist installers to deliver museum-level care with private-client service.
