Five major art world figures have formed a new advisory firm called New Perspectives Art Partners, aimed at serving high-end collectors and institutions. The founders include former Christie’s and Philips CEO Ed Dolman and his son Alex (Dolman Partners), Brett Gorvy of Lévy Gorvy Dayan, Philip Hoffman of the Fine Art Group, and former Sotheby’s rainmaker Patti Wong of Patti Wong and Associates. All five will maintain their existing roles while collaborating on complex, project-driven client needs, leveraging their collective expertise and regional networks.
The formation of New Perspectives Art Partners signals a strategic consolidation of top-tier advisory talent in response to the explosive growth of the art market in Asia and the Middle East. By preserving their individual businesses while pooling resources and trust built over decades, the partners aim to offer seamless, cross-regional service to the world’s most influential collectors. This unusual structure reflects the increasing complexity and globalization of the high-end art market, where buyer groups from different regions increasingly converge.
