Tag-arts art consulting and advisory service was created by Emily Greenspan, who has been collecting contemporary art by emerging artists for over 20 years. Her philosophy is to find artists early in their career and continue to buy them as they develop into the mid-career stage.
When Emily considers buying a piece, she "uses both her eyes AND her ears." If there is a buzz around an artist's career, it helps seal the deal for her even more. This approach has proven to be successful. Her priority is to find work that she wants to live with, keeping in mind that purchasing art ties up real after-tax capital.
Emily has been around the arts her whole life. Her father owned Newel Art Galleries, a prestigious antiques emporium in New York, where she worked for several years. Before that, she was an editor at Elle Decor, a well-known home-design magazine.
Over the past several years, Emily has had numerous friends and acquaintances ask for her advice on how to determine a piece's value; where and how works should be installed; what would look right in a particular space; and how to engage a gallery to get a fair deal.
In 2007, Emily decided to offer art advisory services for collectors and first-time buyers looking to buy young and mid-career artists. Her experience and access to galleries can offer education about artists, confidence in buying, and the convenience of narrowing down the art world for people who want to learn but might not have as much time to devote to it.
