Artwork Sourcing & Acquisitions
Identifying appropriate works through artists, galleries, studios and trusted art-world relationships.
Private Art Acquisitions
Thoughtfully sourced. Discreetly facilitated.
UGO N & Co. facilitates select acquisitions of African contemporary art for private collectors, corporations and other qualified clients.
Depending on the engagement, we may identify appropriate works, source opportunities through galleries and artists, facilitate introductions, or coordinate private acquisition opportunities.
Our approach is relationship-led and collaborative, drawing upon direct relationships and trusted partners across the African contemporary art ecosystem.
How We Engage
Areas of Engagement
Private Acquisition Opportunities
Facilitating access to select works that may be appropriate for individual collectors or corporate clients.

Supporting selected private transactions where UGO N & Co. has a clearly defined role and the appropriate parties are involved.

Exhibition Sourcing

A Collaborative Model
UGO N & Co. respects existing artist and gallery relationships.
Where an artist is represented by a gallery, we work with the appropriate representative.
Our role may be to identify an opportunity, facilitate an introduction, create a private presentation or help move a conversation forward.
We work collaboratively with representing galleries, artists, estates and appropriate specialists, drawing upon their expertise in relation to individual artists, provenance, historical context, valuation and authentication where required.
Representing galleries, artists, estates, scholars and appropriate specialists remain important sources of expertise relating to individual artists, provenance, historical context, valuation and authentication.
