Ithaca is a specialist gallery and advisory in twentieth- and twenty-first-century photography and fine art. We were founded on a simple conviction: that the best guidance comes from those who have sat on the same side of the table as the collector, who have bought, sold, lived with, and parted from significant works themselves.
We operate as a full-service platform, private sales, acquisitions, advisory, collection management, appraisals, and art finance, anchored by a photography-led gallery program. No transaction is self-serve. Every acquisition, sale, and valuation moves through a conversation with an advisor, conducted in confidence and grounded in scholarship.
It is a slower, more considered way of working, and, we believe, the only one appropriate to works of this significance. We take on a small number of relationships and hold them for the long term, because a collection built with conviction over time is among the most personal things a collector will ever assemble.
We hold the conviction that the relationship between exceptional work and the people who seek it is among the most consequential there is. It shapes how one lives, how one sees, and what one leaves behind. Ithaca is the expression of that belief. A complete practice, operating at the highest level of the market, with the personal commitment and depth of knowledge it demands.
