They just get what I want. Unlike other galleries where it’s ‘take it or leave it,’ Crusoe is flexible, knowledgeable, and has a different approach. I’ve had commissions before where you never even meet the artist, but with Crusoe, you’re part of the process—you get proofs, you give feedback, and the final piece is exactly what you wanted. I can call them with an idea and within hours or days, they’ve found exactly what I’m looking for. Nine times out of ten, you don’t even know a piece is available—but Crusoe will go and find it.
Just do it. Just work with them.”
I’ve worked with Crusoe Contemporary for about 18 months now, and every painting has been an easy purchase”
