Ask the expert, Gallerist max andrews

Featured in Rosa Magazine Spring 2026

We are delighted to share that Max has been featured in this month’s Rosa magazine in their regular “Ask the Expert” column.

In the feature, he is invited to share insights drawn from many years of working within the British and international art market, offering practical advice for new and developing collectors as well as reflections on the wider art world.

Among the questions posed, he discusses what guidance he would give to inexperienced collectors beginning their journey, emphasising the importance of looking carefully, buying what you genuinely respond to, and taking time to build knowledge and confidence rather than rushing into acquisition. He also highlights the value of working with trusted galleries and advisers who can provide context, provenance, and long-term perspective.

The article also touches on location and lifestyle within the art world, including whether Petworth remains a strong base for collectors and those involved in the trade. His perspective reflects both the historical significance of the area and its continued relevance today, particularly within the network of established galleries, country houses, and collectors across the South of England.

It is always a pleasure to contribute to conversations that help demystify the art market and encourage new collectors to engage with confidence and curiosity. We are grateful to Rosa for including him in this month’s feature and for continuing to champion informed dialogue within the creative industries.

We hope you enjoy reading the feature as much as he enjoyed taking part.
