With more than $1 billion in fine art and some of the worlds most exciting contemporary artists, we offer access to the inspiring world of masterpiece, modern and contemporary art as well as rare and beautiful objects and unique art experiences.

ArtLever Advisory & Private Rooms:

ArtLever offers clients advisory service to ensure they achieve the best presentation and impact for their collections - this includes public and private museum collections.

ArtLever Private Collectors are granted a custom-built digital “private room.” Some collectors are invited to the private gallery in Milan, where they can see rare and beautiful pieces not available in public.

Art ranging from Leonardo Da Vinci to William Turner, Henry de Toulouse Lautrec, Salvador Dalì and Canaletto are among the pieces ArtLever can offer from the fine art held by collectors that prefer not to work with traditional auction houses.

Instead they work with ArtLever to find the right future collectors for these breathtaking masterpieces.

ArtLever Modern & Contemporary:

ArtLever curates a limited yet stunning collection of Modern sculpture from Rodin, De Chirico and Amri Aminov. ArtLever offers a provocative and compelling group of Contemporary artists like Paolo Maggis, Mirza Cizmic, Sam Havadtoy, Giovanni Frangi, Piero Addis, PJPII and many others.
