AMI, headed by Tania Buckrell Pos, is a specialist arts consultancy serving art collectors, museums, and institutions including leading private banks, art funds and investors on a worldwide basis.
AMI's expertise lies in art management, acquisition and preservation.
These disciplines require the involvement of other practitioners (insurers, transportation & logistics experts, restorers) and the company is both well known and well connected with the top operators in these complementary fields. AMI works in association with respected, industry-tested, peer-reviewed individuals and companies who are also leaders in their field.
A Canadian by birth, managing director Pos attained her Masters Degree in the History of Fine & Decorative Art from Sotheby's Institute in London. She works regularly with private banks, public collections and international collectors as well as consultants from other lifestyle industries. Pos is a qualified member of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, credentials for which require operating with the highest professionalism and knowledge, under a strict code of conduct.
Pos is the art advisory Chair for the proposed Face Value Art Fund, and works regularly with VIP collectors at London's Olympia International Fine Art & Antiques Fair.
As curator, Pos mounted a major exhibition of current Royal Academicians' work in Dubai in 2006 - a joint venture with Art Management Corporation - and in 2008, curatorial projects include fellow Canadian Philip Jessup's landscape photograph exhibit 'Transformations: The Lea/Lee' at City Hall, London.
As published authority, her eclectic passion is expressed in her book entitled Tea & Taste: The Visual Language of Tea (published 2004). In 2008, her lecture subject at the Bard Graduate Centre NYC is Charles Heathcote Tatham (1772-1842) neo-Classicist and arch-catalyst of Regency design.
As advisor, Pos has orchestrated some of the most distinguished acquisitions of high valued, blue chip works of art including pieces by Monet, Renoir, Kandinsky, Hepworth, Léger and Picasso.
