Four specialists.
One signature each.
Elite ArtVoyage is deliberately small. Every engagement is owned end to end by a named specialist — the person you meet is the person who signs for the vessel or the work.

Who you will work with
The people who sign for it
Brokerage and curation sit in the same room, which is why a vessel and its collection are never specified in isolation.
Collections
Michelle Ferguson
Principal Curator
Builds collections around a vessel's interior architecture and light. Leads artist selection and commissioning.
Collections
Nicholas Bartlett
Director of Collections
Oversees acquisition, provenance and the marine hanging specification applied to every work we place at sea.
Collections
Sharon Miller
Principal Curator
Advises on secondary-market acquisition and long-term collection strategy, from single placements to full refits.
How the work divides
Three disciplines, one file
Nothing is handed between departments. The specialist who opens your file keeps it.
Brokerage
Central agency, buyer representation, new-build supervision and charter placement.
Collections
Curation, commissioning, acquisition and the hanging specification for life at sea.
Provenance
Art Loss clearance, export licensing and anti-money-laundering across four jurisdictions.
