Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, LMI Group International, Inc.

LMI Group International, Inc., is a specialty firm that provides complex investment bank-like services to the international art industry primarily in the form of underwriting the market release of major orphaned artworks.

The firm addresses artworks that are valued at $15 million or more, that lack the normal kinds of market evidence of authenticity and certification, and that through a multi-year, equity-financed and institutional-grade process the firm can confirm to be authentic to conclusive standards (working in complement with artist foundations and leading scholars when they are available).  

If a work successfully completes LMI Group’s full process, then LMI Group brings the artwork to market, supported by an exhaustive and transparent prospectus similar to the prospectus used for IPOs in the financial markets.
