Let us be completely honest for a moment. Most fine art gallery biographies are exhausting. They are packed with words like stewardship and juxtaposition designed to make you feel like you should have gone to art school just to look at a painting.
I founded Art Heist Gallery to change that. The name is a playful nod to the fact that the traditional art market often treats world-class pieces as state secrets. Acquiring art should feel like an exhilarating, exclusive victory, not a high-pressure test you are worried about failing.
If you look at my resume, I look like a traditional art world insider:
-
I hold a Master’s Degree in History with an Art emphasis from King’s College London.
-
My master's thesis focused on the historical sacking of Constantinople and how those artifacts ended up in Venice. So, technically speaking, I have a formal postgraduate education in the historical art of uncovering beautiful things.
-
I also completed Museum Studies at Northwestern University, just in case anyone needs to see additional paperwork.
After academia, I spent years running operations and fine art sales inside the legendary, high-pressure galleries of the Beverly Hills Golden Triangle, including Choice Contemporary and Galerie Michael on Rodeo Drive.
If you can successfully manage the eccentricities and logistics of moving multi-million dollar inventories of Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, and Marc Chagall, you can handle just about anything the art market throws at you.
Art Heist Gallery is a mix of two worlds: tracking down rare secondary-market prints, and championing incredible contemporary talent. I built this space to give you direct access to the insider network I have spent my career building, completely free of the condescending gallery attitude.
Welcome to the circle. Let us go find something worth taking home.
