As part of the design team, Suzy Locke & Associates works with architects and designers to provide the professional counsel for integrating art into the corporate environment. We perform historical research on the client corporation by assembling archival material, photographs, and artifacts to portray visually the client's history. We make continual updates of the current prices and exhibitions of the works of artists who are represented in the client's collection.

Our organization brings to the client an educational background in art history, architectural history, interior design and applied arts. This combination of experience and education guarantees clients the expertise necessary to insure both quality and value throughout their collections.

Our Philosophy

Forward-looking companies have long realized the value of art as an image-enhancing tool to heighten the attractiveness of public spaces and employee work areas. Well over 60 percent of the major corporations in the United States are currently buying art.

All agree that the best time to consider purchasing art is at the beginning of a project. Integration of the art into the interior space plan adds to the impact of all elements.

Most companies use the expertise of a professional, independent art consultant - one who has no special ties to particular galleries or artists. A competent consultant guides the client's purchase of appropriate art, consistent with an accepted plan and budget.
