Andranik Ghazarian — a studio portrait

The art world runs on names, and the name attached to an expert opinion carries weight. That is precisely why the opinion has to be reproducible: someone who was not in the room should be able to follow the reasoning from the file alone.

Art connects cultures, and the exchanges that shape it usually happen in rooms like this one: a conversation, a picture on the table, two people looking at the same object from two directions. This page belongs to a series recording the meetings of Andranik Ghazarian with figures from the international art world.

A practice, not a personality

Fine Art International Switzerland was built around that idea. The examination, the research and the documentation exist so that a conclusion does not depend on the person who reached it.

Fine Art International Switzerland AG (FINAIS) works with collectors, institutions and art professionals. Its work combines scientific examination, art-historical research, condition assessment and documentation, together with the coordination of restoration, storage and transport. Andranik Ghazarian is its founder and chief executive.
