Buying

Savill Galleries services collectors of museum quality modern and traditional Australian paintings, as well as some impressionist and contemporary pieces and has one of the largest privately owned stockrooms in Australia.

One of the unique aspects of Savill Galleries stockroom is the inclusion of works painted by artists early in their careers, such as Arthur Boyd’s oils of the Mornington Peninsula painted in his teen years to more mature works painted when he was a household name and highly sought after by collectors.

Savill Galleries specialise in building and managing private clients’ collections as it grows or changes with new acquisitions, as well as providing assistance and advice on deaccessioning. The philosophy is to maintain strong client relationships throughout the development and lifespan of their collection.

Having been in the business for many years, Savill Galleries understand all aspects of the industry, including hanging, conservation, packaging and specialist freight carriers.

There are three ways you can view works:

  • visit the gallery
  • peruse our website
  • subscribe to our mail list to receive email alerts and/or printed catalogues
Savill Galleries prides itself on its discretion and confidentiality and its high level of service.
