NG is an art advisory and cultural initiatives company.
Drawing on experience at leading international galleries including David Zwirner, Marian Goodman, Mennour, and Mendes Wood, NG provides independent and confidential advice to collectors across both the primary and secondary markets. NG approaches collection building as the creation of immersive environments and experiences where disciplines, historical periods, and communities converge into coherent, living cultural ecosystems.
Building on its extensive institutional network and long-standing collaborations with leading international artists and museums, NG also develops context-driven artistic projects in diverse locations, with a particular emphasis on places beyond traditional art world centers.
Conceived as an apartment, our space at 346 rue Saint-Honoré is a living setting for ideas, encounters, and culture — a place designed to host our community of collectors, artists, institutional partners, thinkers, and friends.
A natural extension of NG’s activities, the space reflects our commitment to fostering a transversal perspective on art, design, culture, and contemporary collecting through a selection of consigned artworks, designer furniture, and rare collectibles.
Open by appointment only, this private space offers our collectors the highest levels of discretion and confidentiality for curated viewings, meaningful conversations, and bespoke presentations.

Acquisition, Deaccession & Collection Development
NG provides independent, objective, and confidential advice on art and design to collectors across both the primary and secondary markets. Acting exclusively in our collectors' interests, our recommendations are uncompromising in our standards, free from commercial bias, informed by rigorous research, and supported by thoughtful analysis. We approach collecting as a long-term cultural project rather than a succession of acquisitions, helping build coherent collections with conviction, intellectual depth, and enduring value.
Research
Research underpins every recommendation we make. Combining art historical scholarship, institutional knowledge, and proprietary market intelligence, we provide collectors with the context needed to make informed decisions with confidence and complete transparency. Our longstanding relationships within the art world, along with exclusive access to private market information, often allow us to identify opportunities and developments well before they become public. Every recommendation is rigorously researched, independently assessed, and grounded in both cultural significance and market understanding.
Collection Management & Logistics
We provide real-time and full-service collection management, working with a trusted network of specialists to document, preserve, and present collections with the highest standards of care. Our role extends well beyond acquisition, ensuring a seamless experience throughout the life of each artwork.
Community
NG believes that any art project is enriched through dialogue, shared experiences, and meaningful cultural exchange. We cultivate an international community of artists, collectors, institutions, and thinkers, fostering a living cultural ecosystem that extends far beyond the market. NG creates holistic experiences that engage with art intellectually, aesthetically, emotionally, and sensorially. We conceive journeys as a coherent whole, bringing together people, places, and ideas to encourage lasting dialogue across disciplines, cultures, and generations.
NG develops cultural projects both independently and on behalf of institutions or private partners. Context-driven by nature, these projects often take shape beyond the traditional centres of the art world, responding closely to the places and communities in which they unfold.
We place particular emphasis on creating and supporting the conditions for ambitious new art to be made, rather than focusing solely on exhibitions. Each project is conceived as an holistic experience, fostering meaningful encounters between artists and audiences, and offering those involved the opportunity to contribute to lasting cultural and social resonance.
