Making elite art accessible through expert curation

Lance Calder founded Calder Contemporary in 2021 with the belief that blue-chip contemporary art should be accessible through strategic curation rather than exclusive high-price barriers. Drawing from his background in property development and art dealing expertise, Lance bridges elite art with accessible collecting through carefully selected limited edition prints and select originals by internationally recognized artists.

Our foundational belief centers on contemporary art representing both cultural significance and intelligent investment opportunity. From Warhol's Pop Art revolution to Banksy's street art disruption, each curated artist captures pivotal moments in contemporary culture, offering collectors access to works that appreciate in both aesthetic impact and market value over time.
