GMSG was founded by three friends, Philippe de Montebello, Jennifer Stockman and Joachim Pissarro whose perspectives, ideals and interests in the power of art and museums, aligned. They were also aware that their individual skills, knowledge and accomplishments in the museum world complemented each other. With their collective wealth of experience the founders and their team, offer an incomparable level of intellectual capital and expertise to clients seeking to realize the profound potential of artistic and institutional enterprise. GMSG's integrated, holistic approach takes their clients from concept to completion, and brings together art, architecture and audience in revelatory shared experience.
