Chairman
Mr. Agarwal presides over Arts Bespoke as its Chairman. He holds that a great picture is a trust kept between generations, and the house under his chairmanship is built on that conviction: a work of art should pass from one custodian to the next with its history whole and its honour intact.
He guides the long view of the house: the artists it champions, the collections it helps to form, and the standard of scholarship and provenance to which every attribution is held. Nothing leaves this house without his blessing, and when a collector places a work of real consequence, or parts with one, it is Mr. Agarwal who receives them.
He is the Chairman and Managing Director of the Safe & Secure Group, the family enterprise he leads in its third generation, and he brings to the world of art the discipline of a name that has kept its word, to client after client, across generations.
An art house is only as good as the name above its door. His office exists so that every valuation and every sale made by Arts Bespoke is one the family will answer for in person, today and a generation from now.
