Art transforms the spaces it inhabits. We advise private collectors, interior designers, architects, developers, and hospitality clients on the acquisition, placement, and presentation of works across residential, commercial, and hospitality environments, ensuring that each work is experienced as an integral part of the space it occupies.

What We Do
01

Collection Curation

We help collectors develop a curatorial vision for their holdings, advising on acquisition, placement, and presentation. Every recommendation is shaped by art history, market knowledge, and the collector’s own taste and spaces.

02

Residential Placement

We work closely with collectors, interior designers, and architects to source and place works within private homes, weighing taste and vision alongside scale, light, proportion, and the relationship between each work and the space it occupies.

03

Commercial Placement

We source and place works across commercial environments, from corporate offices to professional spaces of every kind. We manage the full process, from brief to installation, each choice reflecting the space, the people, and the organization’s identity.

04

Permanent & Rotating Installations

We advise on and manage permanent and rotating art installations across private, commercial, and hospitality environments, from permanent works that lend enduring cultural weight to rotating programs that keep a space evolving.

05

Art Programs for Partnerships & Hospitality

We develop and manage art programs for developers, hospitality clients, and corporate partners, building a relationship between art and environment that reflects the identity and ambition of the space, from initial brief through acquisition, installation, and ongoing management.

Our Approach

We begin every project with a thorough understanding of the client, the space, and the vision that will guide it. We draw on deep market knowledge and art history to source and position works that are right not just aesthetically but contextually, with each recommendation informed by a precise understanding of how a work will live within and define the environment it occupies. For developers, hospitality clients, and corporate partners, this extends to the development of art programs that reflect the identity and long-term ambition of the spaces they create.

Why Ithaca

We approach curation as collectors who understand what it means to live with art. That perspective shapes every recommendation we make, from a single work placed in a private home to a comprehensive program across a major hospitality development. We bring genuine aesthetic sensibility alongside the market knowledge, relationships, and logistical expertise to place exceptional works with intention and meaning.
