CURA Art
CURA Art was founded to support collectors on their journey, to fully harness their potential, both as responsible custodians of artistic and cultural heritage, but also as promoters and supporters of creatives themselves, recognizing a shift in approaches to collecting. This shift highlights a sense of responsibility to both the work or object through its preservation and research, but also to the artists themselves, both contemporary and from art history.
