Art Market Veterans Form New Perspectives Alliance, Targeting Gulf Collectors

A new consulting group, New Perspectives Art Partners, has been established to cater to affluent clients in the Middle East. This consortium features Ed Dolman, Brett Gorvy, Patti Wong, Philip Hoffman, and Alex Dolman as its members. While each partner operates independently, they unite to offer strategic insights on acquisitions, sales, and collection management. Gorvy compared their methodology to that of management consulting, focusing on approximately 350 clients who might invest up to USD 30 million on individual pieces. Their efforts are concentrated in the Gulf region, especially among sovereign families and significant art trusts. Notable market developments include Art Basel's Doha fair in February 2026 and Christie's second Riyadh location in September 2024. The consortium's goal is to deliver impartial advice.
