Conceived in the summer of 2001, Love Your Dealer is a full-service art dealer, specializing in the creations of living, working artists in cosmopolitan areas, such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and London.

Frequenting the preeminent schools of fine arts and becoming familiar with current pedagogy and mounting trends and getting acquainted with working students at the beginnings of their careers puts Love Your Dealer on the cusp of contemporaneous techniques and themes. Love Your Dealer's manifesto is simple: to find artists, both students and veterans, who are not currently represented in galleries and to purchase their art for clients, eliminating, for both the artist and the client, gallery-overhead.

Love Your Dealer is also ideally situated to shop galleries, exhibits, and auctions and will do so, should the client request a more widely represented artist.

Love Your Dealer does see art as an investment, but even more so – a love, a drug, a companion, a teacher. Love Your Dealer is interested in helping you – find your way to art.

Love Your Dealer Shops:

Because Love Your Dealer continually ‘shops' fine arts schools, we can acquaint you with artists' work relatively quickly and inexpensively – with the understanding that this phase, also, is a process.

Love Your Dealer employs photographs, scanners, measurements, descriptions, and The U.S. Postal Service, as well as background information on the artist, to acquaint you with their work.

Love Your Dealer shops individual pieces priced from $2,000 – upward and charges 20% of the purchase price plus expenses, with all expenses being subject to client approval.

You name the price. You control the costs.
