Description
Provenance Researcher: A mix between Indiana Jones and Bridget Jones.
Corporate Art Manager: For the ones who could never decide if they favour a corporate career over a creative lifestyle. You get both.
Provenance Researcher: Tweed and corduroy dominate as well as muted colours. We haven’t come across someone in a Hugo Boss or Max Mara suit yet (see corporate art manager) – but that might also be a matter of salary.
Corporate Art Manager: Here the corporate wins. If you are lucky, your job position is within a luxury fashion brand.
Provenance Researcher: If Gurlitt and Lafite sound Spanish to you, you won’t make it.
Corporate Art Manager: We’ve never met someone who planned this career. Maybe just because you introduced KAWS to your boss.
Provenance Researcher: The successful art detective never sleeps.
Corporate Art Manager: You should be on the safe side with a corporate contract.
Provenance Researcher: Likely a solid figure that allows you to cover your monthly metro ticket, shopping at the wholefood market and every now and then a new pair of Campers.
Corporate Art Manager: You have the benefits of one of the most regulated positions in the whole art world. And actually not too bad compared to a lot of those freelance art consultants.
Provenance Researcher: Playing “Memory” and learning how to disguise your voice on the phone.
Corporate Art Manager: Management accounting gives you the credibility in the company, best paired with a graffiti past for the street cred.
Provenance Researcher: You help packing to ship the Pergamon Altar back to Turkey.
Corporate Art Manager: An artist paints on your company’s (please select) car, tie, wine label, refrigerator, office entrance…
Provenance Researcher: You are not the hero per se and now you are sent on a hostage exchange.
Corporate Art Manager: An artist paints on your company’s (please select) car, tie, wine label, refrigerator, office entrance…
Provenance Researcher: No need to follow the global art fair circus.
Corporate Art Manager: Cleverness wins: selecting an artist from the Philippines for a collab offers a higher chance of a business trip than an artist from the local art school.
