We are convinced that art always leaves its mark.
ICAA Strategists GmbH
ICAA (Independent Contemporary Art Advisors) is an independent consulting firm specialized in art collecting. We help with issues surrounding the acquisition of artwork and the integration of art into a new environment so that it can atmospherically reflect the character of the space. Clean lines and a combination of the historic and the contemporary are at the core of our interior design aesthetic.
Since 2021 and as a result of the expansion of the art market by digital systems, we also provide services related to NFT (non fungible token), Metaverse and Web3. The focus of our consulting services is on the formation, experienceability and implementation of digital systems, blockchain based applications, StoryBoard development, user-friendly Mint websites, investment strategies of NFTs, virtual architectures, setting up virtual spaces in the Metaverse, and more.
The metaverse is the future space for communication and consumption – a virtual world shaped by virtual reality and augmented reality that exists independently of a single user. This is where art museums, galleries, auction houses are emerging and where people are already decorating their own digital spaces with digital artworks. The metaverse links the physical world with the virtual world. Our lives will continue to exist in both worlds. The new word is “phygital.”
We give estimates on artworks, accompany you to auctions, do mediation work on legal, inheritance and foundation issues, take care of transports and insurances, research the provenance of artworks for you, bring you together with the best restorers, offer you digital solutions for collection organization and advise you all the way to the virtual art museum.
We love helping your collection succeed, connecting you with interesting people, or quietly brokering your artworks while maintaining strict discretion.
For more than 25 years, we have invested in our knowledge around collecting art, including digital art. As yet, the new world of the token economy operates in parallel with the traditional art world. Our goal is to build bridges, provide education and help unite these two worlds, which are extremely enriching in their own right.
