James Carter

With extensive experience at the world’s largest gallery group as well as boutique art investment advisories, I bring a distinct strategy that combines the institutional expertise of leading galleries with the tailored approach of a smaller, client-focused firm. My goal with Crusoe is to provide every client with a dependable, one-to-one experience where advice and opportunities are personalised to their needs, removing the burden from their shoulders. Outside of the art market, I’m a lifelong Fulham supporter and spend my spare time working on lowering my golf handicap.

Miguel Reis

With experience at some of London’s most prestigious galleries, I’ve had the privilege of advising a wide range of collectors and learning first-hand what clients value most — expertise delivered with trust and care. At Crusoe, my focus is to combine the advantages of world-class gallery knowledge with a more personal, client-centred approach, ensuring every individual feels supported at each stage of their collecting journey.

Away from the art world, I’m a proud father of two, and that perspective shapes the way I work — putting long-term relationships, reliability, and care at the heart of everything I do.
