CURATE

When we say “curation”, we mean the art of finding the perfect piece for a specific place. We believe that the “where” is as important as the “what”.

For over 10 years we have helped our private and professional clients find work that they love, and install it in a way that does more than solely look beautiful.

Art can change the way people move around a space, connect your home to its past, tell a story unique to you, or draw attention to an under-appreciated view, to name but a few.

We help you to visualise how your art might look in situ prior to purchase using cutting-edge technology. We also give advice on everything from installation to ongoing maintenance.

CREATE

If the perfect piece for you does not exist, we will have it created for you. Bespoke commissions can be hugely enjoyable projects, giving you control over and involvement in the creative process.

Whether you are a design professional or a private individual the commissioning of art is not the necessarily the preserve of the few - very often commissions are price-comparable with existing work by the chosen artist.

We work with you to find a shortlist of talented artists, to create a brief and then run and manage the selection, creation and installation of your new piece.

We also redesign space. Changes to your garden or home can make the most of your new sculpture.

COLLABORATE

There are no right and wrong answers in art, you do not need an art degree to have a valid opinion and everyone’s tastes are their own.

“I like art, but I don’t know much about it”, is both a phrase we hear a lot and a premise with which we disagree.

Art is a visceral reaction towards an object and our role is to help you find work that moves you. Once there is this interest we can clarify context and story, telling you more about the artist or the piece.

While this may help you to love what you once only liked, we cannot make you like what you do not. Nor should we. Our job is to support and help you to navigate your way through a market that is so often intentionally opaque.

Client testimonials

“I’ve bought art from galleries all over the world, but the last few purchases through Marshall Murray were by far the most satisfying. Being able to see what the art would look like in my home before I made a final decision was incredibly useful and, as a tech-lover, I loved the use of 3D modelling to help with this.”

- Private client, South of France

“I think I knew I’d gone to the right people when Oliver spent 30 minutes explaining why the less expensive of the options was the better prospect. The sculpture I bought turned out to be a great bit of business, how many galleries argue against their own profit?!”

- Private client, London

“I don’t like galleries, but I do like Marshall Murray. Visiting artists’ studios was extremely fun and far more useful than I had imagined, and the level of aftercare was extraordinary.”
