"If you're looking for art advice, consider asking your bank. Rebekah Bowling, an art advisor at Citi, helps ultra-high-net-worth clients in Citi Wealth manage and build their art collections and knows how hard it can be to make sense of the market. Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, and UBS are among the other banks offering art advice to wealthy clients."
"Her day-to-day can include keeping clients in the know about auctions, suggesting artists who might fit well in their homes or collections, or planning events. In her mind, it's not wise for anyone to buy art they don't actually enjoy - "you will only be disappointed," - but she knows that many are concerned with finding artists who represent good value."
Rebekah Bowling is an art advisor at Citi who helps ultra-high-net-worth clients manage and build art collections. Several major banks, including Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, and UBS, provide art-advisory units for wealthy clients. Bowling spent a decade at the auction house Phillips and joined Citi in July. Her daily work includes keeping clients informed about auctions, recommending artists for homes and collections, and planning events. Bowling advises collectors to buy art they genuinely enjoy while considering value and recommends starting with galleries that represent emerging artists.
