Maak are the market leading auction specialists and art consultants dedicated to the foremost international ceramic art of the 20th and 21st century. Established in 2009 by Marijke Varrall-Jones, who has over a decade of market experience as former Head of Contemporary Ceramics at Bonhams. Maak offers wide ranging services to private collectors and public institutions and as such provides a comprehensive approach to the ceramics market. Private Sales: Alongside the bi-annual Contemporary Ceramics Auctions we broker private sales, often for a less public route to market or scheduling requirements. Sourcing: Maak works with a wide range of private collectors and museums to source art works, whether in the national and international auction market, through galleries and dealers or using our extensive private connections to access works that might not otherwise be available on the open market. Free Wish List Service: All collectors can register a Wish List, providing details of any artists or art works that you are interested in or actively searching for. We will then contact you directly when we have works of potential interest available for sale, either privately or at auction. Valuations: We providea variety of valuation services, including those for insurance and probate purposes. Auction Consultancy: We work on a consultancy basis for many of the leading international auction houses, providing formal authentications, condition reports and valuation advice in this speciality market. Vetting: We are regularly invited to join committee's for the selection of exhibitors and artworks to internationally renowned art fairs Lecturing: Marijke has been a Consultant Lecturer at Sotheby’s Institute of Art for a number of years, contributing to the MA Contemporary Design and other post-graduate courses.
