Thank you for visiting this site.  My professional work is three-fold: that of art and investment analyst, of a curator of private art collections and that of editor of my  own quarterly journal on the  Old Masters art market. As seen in The Montecito Journal, Santa Barbara, this activity specifically involves the advisory and curation of private collections centered upon, but not limited to European Old Masters. My specialization is Flemish, Spanish and Italian works ranging from the Late Gothic to the Renaissance to the Early Baroque, attracted to the passion and emotional intensity, "beautiful violence", and the mythological-religious impact of these paintings.  I also work with other Old Masters categories as well as you will see in these pages. At this time I do not have an independent gallery, but I work with established dealers of excellent reputation based in Manhattan, Vienna and Madrid to tailor small collections.  These consist of known and 'unknown' great names in the history of art, with a focus on undervalued artists whose works, according to the temper of the times and the reading of the tea leaves, stand to appreciate in value. 
 

• ​​​As a former writer-analyst of  the commodities market, the historic classic gold standard and of the 'bankers' bank' traditions of pre-war Europe for two well-known American publications, I stress the critical, long-term value of art as investment as a secondary factor to the primary goal of creating a powerful aesthetic experience.    
• I began in this field as a result of my work for and personal relationship with the Princely House of Liechtenstein, one of Europe's most fabled art collectors, when I lived many years in Vienna.  In addition,   I have a small in-house press, William Caxton & Sons Publishing LLC, based in Washington DC, through which I publish a new print journal, Christoff's Old Masters, monographs and my own literary works.
