Blondeau & Cie was initiated in 1987 in Paris by Marc Blondeau, former chairman of Sotheby’s France. A specialist in Impressionism and Modern Art, Marc Blondeau was the first expert to create an art consultancy exclusively designed for art collectors and devoted to their requirements and concerns.

In 2000, Marc Blondeau relocated from Paris to Geneva to expand his international activities and founded Blondeau & Cie. Philippe Davet joined him as a partner to manage and develop the firm. He developed a selective and elaborate exhibition program with a range of contemporary artists. Philippe Davet specialized in post-war and contemporary art, expanding the firm’s advisory and brokerage activities in the sector through flourishing relations with art collectors and museums.

Our offices are located on the premises of an early 20th-century factory building in the heart of the Quartier des Bains in Geneva. Our facility houses a private research art library containing a collection of over 18,000 books including catalogues raisonnés, monographs, exhibition and auction catalogues.

Presently, Blondeau & Cie focuses exclusively on art brokerage and consultancy to art collectors, which has always been at the core of its expertise.
