Visual Arts Tours: With over 80 museums, 900 commercial art galleries and countless alternative spaces, studios and hidden delights, the New York cultural scene can be difficult to navigate and the destinations themselves overwhelming. Don’t worry - Gumshoe maintains a database of the city’s hottest shows and openings and will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the cultural scene. At each venue, we’ll facilitate critical dialogue and special access, laying the foundation for you to improve or build upon your own appreciation and understanding of the art market.

Acquisition Services: Galleries, both new and established, form the commercial foundation of the art market. Auction houses form the crux of the secondary market - offering a platform for buyers and sellers to trade works of art on the open market. Looking at or buying fine art in either of these venues can be a tricky endeavor, but not with Gumshoe. We’ll help you traverse galleries and auctions, introduce you to dealers and auction specialists, and supply you with the foundation needed to begin appreciating and collecting fine art.
