Who We Work With
By establishing relationships with collectors and understanding their needs, we help develop their collections while bringing them closer to the artists they support.
We have no affiliation with any particular auction house or art dealer; our sole aim is to work in partnership with the artists and collectors.
We are a registered charity in the UK as well as in the US; all profits are reinvested into the TRIAD organisation in order that we may continue to promote and support the very vanguard of contemporary art.
TRIAD works closely with both well-established and new collectors; we help them to build, develop and define their art collection by following practical steps.
