Department

Fine Art

Collecting with an eye rather than an ear: provenance, the work worth living with, and the patience a collection asks. With invitation-only access to our gallery partner, D.C. Christian.


We partner with the painter D.C. Christian, who shows by invitation only; members of The Carnet List receive access to private viewings. See the work at dcchristian.art.

The Living Collection

Art bought to be looked at outlasts art bought to be stored. The case for hanging the thing rather than vaulting it.
