New Perspectives Art Partners: Art Market Veterans Launch New Consultancy NPAP to Navigate Industry Challenges
Ed Dolman, Brett Gorvy, and others form New Perspectives Art Partners (NPAP), an elite advisory group tackling today’s complex art market shifts.
A powerhouse alliance of art market insiders—Ed Dolman, Alex Dolman, Brett Gorvy, Philip Hoffman, and Patti Wong—have quietly launched New Perspectives Art Partners (NPAP), a consultancy designed to address the thorny, high-level problems reshaping today’s art world.
Announced last Thursday, NPAP isn’t your typical advisory firm. These veterans will keep their current roles while convening only for specialized projects that demand their collective expertise. Think of it as an elite task force, assembling like the Avengers to dissect and solve the art market’s trickiest puzzles.
With backgrounds spanning auction houses, top galleries, and cultural institutions across global hubs from Hong Kong to Doha, NPAP aims to guide collectors, family offices, and fiduciaries through a market in flux. The art world’s “paradigm shift,” marked by third-party guarantees, fragmented regions, and cooling resale premiums, signals that the old playbook no longer fits.
“The auction model once offered surprise and upside; now it feels more about managing risk,” Ed Dolman explains. Brett Gorvy adds that the cracks in traditional platforms reveal opportunities: “Chaos creates value if you can help clients navigate it.”
Built on decades of trusted relationships and mutual respect—even among former rivals—NPAP emphasizes discretion and relevance, eschewing flashy branding or junior hustlers chasing consignments. The question now: Can this veteran coalition provide the fresh perspective and nimble solutions the evolving art market desperately needs?
