Art & Mason Lane Art Advisory
The world of interior design is deeply entrenched in the art world. However, designers don’t just want to collect pieces that appeal, they want to curate collections that build a sense of who the homeowners are as people, creatives, and art lovers. We, as designers, want to ensure each piece holds a purpose in the grander vision of the home as a whole. So art must be understood and carefully selected. But we are designers, not art curators. Which is the beauty of collectives like Mason Lane Advisory. Advising individuals and design studios through the art curation process, Mason Lane is a priceless resource when it comes to utilizing advisors for art curation.
The Beauty of Mason Lane
Boutique experiences are inspirational in a whole new way. Working with any creative elevates your participation in and understanding of their artistic discipline. This is made clear when you work with Mason Lane.
As advisors to your art curation, they fully collaborate with you and your interior design team to source and purchase art that reflects you and your tastes, while also strategically selecting pieces that complement your home.
This symbiotic relationship is at the heart of Mason Lane. They are not only there to collect art for your home, but help you start and grow your personal art collection, placing you into the nucleus of the art world with the support of experts who help you navigate the complexities.
“With transparency and approachability, we help clients build distinctive art collections that celebrate personal taste and create visual impact.”
Why We Utilize Advisors for Art Curation
As a designer, I find art advisors endlessly helpful. Though we both work in the world of art, advisors have unique and deep insight into the specific niche of quality art. Together, we can create a space you love that is decorated with purpose, looking to the future regarding your art collection and its valuation (both financially and in personal preference) as well as the present enjoyment of your environment.
Mason Lane works in many cities across the U.S., acquiring contemporary art that “celebrates personal taste and creates visual impact.” Their expertise more than meets the moment for every project, and is a priceless guide in our own quest to create interiors that feel warm, expressive, and highly considered.
Art in Elaine Santos Design Projects
From our own perspective, art has played an essential role in all of the ESD projects. From subtle portraits to large contemporary pieces, our selections all serve a key purpose in completing the end result our clients love.
Working with ESD means partnering with the best of the industry. Mason Lane contributes invaluable expertise to projects where art is so much more than a wall-covering or piece of Décor.
