Louis-Philippe Van Eeckhoutte offers independent advice in the field of modern and contemporary art, working with cultural institutions, public bodies, foundations and private collectors. Drawing on extensive experience in curating, gallery direction, cultural policy and the international art market, his approach combines art-historical expertise with a thorough understanding of institutional and commercial contexts.

Institutional Advisory

Van Eeckhoutte advises foundations, cultural organisations and public authorities on curatorial strategy, exhibition and programme development, collection policy, artist selection and public art commissions. His approach is informed by a sustained engagement with contemporary artistic practices, institutional structures and the relationship between art and its wider cultural context.

His experience includes advising Art Brussels on its ’68 Forward section, serving as an expert for the Flemish Government under the Kunstendecreet, participating in an acquisition committee for M Leuven, and advising the City of Roeselare on the integration of art and heritage into its renovated city hall.

Private Art Advisory

Van Eeckhoutte provides independent and confidential advice to private collectors, whether establishing a collection, developing an existing one or reconsidering its direction. His approach privileges artistic quality, historical significance and the coherence of a collection over short-term market considerations.

His services encompass research and the identification of works, acquisitions, gallery and studio visits, negotiations, collection reviews and deaccessioning. Drawing on his experience in the international art world, he offers informed guidance across both established and emerging artistic practices. Each collaboration is tailored to the particular interests and ambitions of the collector or institution, combining independent judgement, discretion and a long-term perspective.
