ROC Art Advisory

Hong Kong | Kuala Lumpur | Europe

ROC Art Advisory is an independent international art advisory and private dealing firm serving private collectors, family offices, corporations, and institutions across Asia, Europe, and the global art market.

Founded in 2022 by Rory O'Connor, the firm provides independent advice on acquiring, managing, and developing exceptional art collections. Combining rigorous market research with an international network of galleries, auction houses, private dealers, artists, and specialists, ROC Art offers clients access to significant opportunities across both the primary and secondary markets.

Every recommendation is supported by thorough market analysis, provenance research, and due diligence. Free from commercial affiliations with galleries or auction houses, the firm acts solely in the interests of its clients, providing objective advice, discreet representation, and skilled negotiation.

Beyond acquisitions, ROC Art offers comprehensive collection management, including cataloguing, conservation coordination, insurance advisory, logistics, storage, and long-term collection planning. Whether advising first-time collectors or established collections, the firm's focus remains the same: building collections of lasting artistic, cultural, and financial significance.

PHILOSOPHY
