The agency built
to sell art
Websites built to get more collectors, more enquiries and more sales.
Everything an artwork
needs after it’s created
Verified certificates, permanent provenance, secure buy links — and royalties on every resale.
The people and stories
behind the art
Editorial that helps collectors learn the story, connect with the maker and buy with confidence.
Collectors discover and buy art like never before.
The future of the art market belongs to artists who own their platform, their audience and their reputation.
We believe every artist deserves the opportunity to build a lasting, independent career.
Our purpose is to give artists greater ownership of their careers by helping them build collector confidence, tell their story on their own terms and benefit more from the value they create.
Great galleries will always matter, the best create real opportunities for artists.
But they should be a choice, not the foundation of an artist’s entire career.
This is your art.
Your name.
Your legacy.
Our mission
To give artists what they need to build long-lasting careers on their own terms — with or without a gallery.
Talent has never been what holds artists back. The business has.
The Curated Art Group was founded by Thomas J Theakston — art dealer, curator and consultant — after sixteen years in commerce and five at the top of the art market. In under four years he generated more than £4 million in art sales, from helping launch a major New York gallery to selling three years running at Art Miami.
What he learned there shapes everything we build: talent alone isn’t enough. Infrastructure, sales psychology and digital expertise should shape an art business from day one. So we built the group to put that to work — the commercial architecture the art world has always kept behind the gallery door, opened up for artists and collectors.

Curated Art Agency builds artist websites and manages sales. Curated Registry issues verified certificates, records permanent provenance and unlocks resale royalties. The Curated Issue is an editorial platform sharing the people and stories behind the art.
