Who we are

Collecting art should be an inspiring experience

Ventura Contemporary Art is not just another gallery. We believe that art is truly personal. The most memorable artworks are those that tell a story, continue to reveal themselves over time and become part of the spaces we inhabit.

The gallery

not a shopfront

The advisory

Sourcing across the whole market

Building and refining an art collection. Whether you are acquiring your first artwork, looking for a particular artist or developing an already existing collection, we provide considered guidance tailored to your taste, space and ambitions.

Our vision

A relationship,
not a transaction.

Most of our work is for collectors we already know. Nobody is hurried, nothing is oversold, and we would rather lose a sale than put the wrong work on your wall.
Fewer clients
We keep the list short on purpose. It is the only way to know a collection well enough to advise on it properly.
Longer horizons
We buy for the next twenty years, not the next auction. If a work only makes sense as a trade, we will say so.
The whole market
Studios, estates, galleries and private collections — we go wherever the right work happens to be, on or off the public record.
