Masterworks Fine Art strives to be the best source of fine art for our clients and collectors all over the world. We believe the most direct way to accomplish this is by establishing a lifetime of personal and professional relationships with our clients. In the mid-1970s, Masterworks Fine Art was a sole proprietorship. Our first website was launched in 1993 and by November, 2001 Masterworks Fine Art was founded. This business philosophy allows us to look to collectors' long-term needs, removing the urgency or pressure on our part from any particular transaction. By listening carefully and sharing our knowledge and experience, Masterworks Fine Art strives to enhance the collecting experience for our clients. We seek to aid the informed and intelligent buyer to make equally informed and wise decisions when looking to purchase works of fine art. Masterworks Fine Art is confident that the interested collector will find value and quality in the artwork we offer. To serve collectors at all levels and stages -- from beginners to connoisseurs -- Masterworks Fine Art offers a range of quality works, from low-priced lithographs to million-dollar superlative masterpieces. Masterworks Fine Art Company Profile Alex Adelman, Founder and President (alex@masterworksfineart.com ) Collecting art has been a passion of mine since the age of 15 when I acquired my first work of fine art: an original color lithograph by Joan Mir . I began building my knowledge as a teenager by working at an auction house describing auction lots. This opportunity exposed me to a wide range of collectibles and fine art. In college, at Washington University, St. Louis, I worked on three degrees: printmaking, anthropology, and art history. Later, I completed graduate work at the University of California, Berkeley. While in college, I continued to buy and sell fine art on a part-time basis. In the late 80's, a turning point in my life, I made a move from academia to a full-time career in selling fine art. In 1987 I went to work for a corporate art gallery with almost 50 retail locations worldwide; I managed, then directed, the largest gallery for the company. Employed there until 1993, I gained a substantial amount of experience and began formulating ideas about a different way to sell art. I discovered that my values contrasted with the qualities and attributes of commercial galleries in high-rent districts. What was crucial in my mind was recognizing the importance of professionalism, honesty, and relationship-building.
