Questions/Answers
Do Societe Generale Private Banking's partners only support experienced art collectors?
No, on the contrary, our offer is aimed at a wide range of clients: some wish to be accompanied for a first acquisition or the building of a collection, others for the evaluation of one or more objects with a view to a sale, or for the insurance or transmission of a collection, or even for a philanthropic project in the world of the arts.
Is SG Kleinwort Hambros an art expert?
Even though we have experienced and knowledgeable people within our organisation SG Kleinwort Hambros' ambition is not to become an art "expert". In this field, the real expertise is in the hands of professional partners from the art world, who have experience, specialisation and irreplaceable infrastructures, difficult to duplicate within a bank. We believe that it makes more sense to mobilise hand-picked experts from the art world in order to accompany each client appropriately.
