From private residences to cultural institutions, SMO Contemporary Art’s projects bring together curatorial thinking, art advisory, collection development, and creative execution to create meaningful encounters with art. 

Our work spans the development of private collections, where we work closely with collectors to select, acquire, place, and install artworks that respond to their personal vision and spaces; institutional projects, encompassing curatorial, conservation and cultural initiatives; and Art Advisory, through which we provide informed guidance on acquisitions, valuations and the long-term stewardship of art.

  • Across each project, our approach is grounded in a deep knowledge of contemporary african art and a commitment to thoughtful curation. Whether shaping an intimate private collection, contributing to the preservation and interpretation of cultural heritage, or advising on the development of an art collection, we consider not only the artwork itself, but also its context, environment, and the story it contributes to.
