FOR ARTISTS
You didn't spend years finding your voice to hand it over to someone else's spreadsheet. We protect what's yours with the same rigor a blue-chip gallery would, and we only bring you opportunities worth your name.
-
FOR PARTNERS
Borrowed cool doesn't last. Real collaboration does. We bring you artists who've been vetted for taste, not just followers, and we manage the relationship end-to-end, so what reaches your customers still feels like art.

FOR THE WORLD
Great art shouldn't live behind a velvet rope. It belongs in your hands, your home, your daily life: everywhere, for everyone. That's the whole point.
In 1790 (wink, wink), a newly founded United States passed one of the first laws in the world protecting creative work as something worth defending. We think it still is.
Zach Wolff spent years building artist collaborations and licensing programs, working with top photographers and many of the world's most legendary brands, including Samsung, Uniqlo, H&M, Wacko Maria, and Anti Social Social Club.
He started 1790 Agency to do it his way: smaller, sharper, and led by relationships instead of a roster, in the same spirit as that original law.
