VELVENOIR Driven by art, culture and place. Shaped by an international perspective. Private Collections • Hospitality • Special Projects

At VELVENOIR our raison d-etre is about unfolding the potential of art as an investment, as an identity, and as an experience. Providing bespoke art advisory and consultancy services to collectors, designers, project managers and property developers in respect of their hospitality, residential and commercial projects, across the globe in collaboration with an international network of art and hospitality experts. The VELVENOIR network aims at balancing the design concept of interior projects through a well-curated contemporary art collection, which reflects the client’s values. The vision behind the firm is to transform spaces into a personal experience, in sourcing and incorporating the art into the design concept with an international network backing up the entire process. This means clients and collectors can work directly with the art consultant on their project, whilst the network assists the consultant during the entire process to ensure an outstanding outcome that exceeds client expectations.

Look closely: this photograph was woven before it was printed.⁠
⁠
For Textus #129, South Korean artist Seung Hoon Park cut and interlaced strips of film, rebuilding Prague’s historic Theology Hall piece by piece. The space remains recognisable, but its shelves, arches and details appear to shift each time you look. We selected the work for because it brings the city inside without simply illustrating it - Prague is taken apart, reassembled and returned to us through a different lens.⁠
⁠
We sourced the work through in the US and loved collaborating with Susan on the project. Framed by M2 Rahmen in Vienna, it has now found its place in Prague.⁠

We are a mission-driven art advisory and consultancy. Our work focuses on the relationship between art, people and place.⁠
⁠
Through thoughtful curation, close collaboration and artistic exchange, we create art collections and experiences that strengthen identity, deepen connection and contribute meaningfully to the spaces and communities they become part of.⁠
⁠
After twelve years, this remains our mission, and the thinking behind VELVENOIR, since Alexandra founded it in 2014. ⁠

Currently inspiring us: The Battery, San Francisco.⁠
⁠
We love visiting places that aren’t afraid to be bold with art, and is one of them. Its art collection brings energy, character and the occasional surprise to the rooms around it.⁠
⁠
Experiencing art collections like this is an important part of our work. It takes us beyond the familiar, gives us new ideas to bring into our own projects and reminds us how differently art can shape the atmosphere of a space.⁠

What makes an artwork become part of someone’s life?

Sometimes it’s an unexpected discovery, a personal connection or simply a work you can’t stop thinking about.

Today, we’re sharing a glimpse into the personal art collection of our founder, Alexandra. Collected over the years, the works reflect different moments, encounters and a love for supporting the artists and galleries whose passion and dedication make the art world so special.

Featuring works by Stefanie Kaegi, Christian Peschke, Marianne Lang, Kristina Kulakova,Daniel Barrio, Livia Marin,Tony Cragg, George Classen, Tina Lechner, Hiroko Yoshimoto, Jakob Tytykalo and others.

Because collecting art is just as much about the people and stories behind the works as it is about living with them.

During a recent conversation about a private art collection, the question of valuations came up.⁠
⁠
We have worked with Catherine Asquith as part of our international collective for several years, so we asked her to share the key considerations art collectors should keep in mind. ⁠

An artwork can be visually right and still be wrong for the project.⁠
⁠
Perhaps it cannot withstand the environment. Maybe its provenance is unclear. Its production might not meet the deadline, or its cultural references may require more thoughtful consideration. These questions often remain invisible in the finished space, but they are fundamental to responsible art advisory.⁠
⁠
For us, good advice must still hold years after the installation is complete.⁠

This week, some of the VELVENOIR team are in London for Frieze Week. We’ll be moving between Frieze London, Frieze Masters and galleries across the city, meeting artists, discovering new work and sourcing for our current projects.⁠
⁠
We’re looking forward to reconnecting with familiar faces and beginning new conversations that may continue long after the week is over. If you’ll be there too, let us know!⁠

There are things you only understand about an artist’s work once you enter the studio.⁠
⁠
During a recent visit to Mallorca, we spent time in the studio of New York-born artist Louise Despont. Surrounded by stone walls, shifting light and vegetation, the space made the connection between her environment and her work immediately visible.⁠
⁠
Louise combines collage, botanical imagery and architectural forms, translating them onto antique canvas through gradual layers of rubbed and sanded pigment. Seeing the materials, scale, and process up close offered a deeper understanding of the patience behind each work. And a great reminder of why studio visits remain such an important part of how we continue to look, listen, and learn.⁠

We recently visited the Museum der Moderne Salzburg on the Mönchsberg together with Verena from , where we explored two very different exhibitions under one roof. We wanted to share a little of what we saw with you today. ⁠
⁠
BASELITZ NOW brought us face to face with Georg Baselitz’s monumental late paintings, reflecting on ageing, mortality and his own life. ⁠
Charlotte Perriand. Living Modernism moved between architecture, design and photography, revealing how she created complete lived environments rather than isolated objects.⁠
⁠
Two very different practices: the physical presence of painting in one moment, and the possibility of an entire way of living in the next.⁠
⁠
Which speaks to you more: art that confronts you directly, or design that changes how you imagine living?⁠
