Viviane works with new and long-time collectors, arranging meetings with artists in their studios and galleries and see the artists they represent whose work may not be currently on display.

Whether you are an experienced or aspiring collector, interested in acquiring a single work or building an art collection, Viviane uses her 16 years of experience and professional contacts to advise and guide you, helping you build a valuable and personal art collection.

  • As an exhibiting artist and experienced art advisor, Viviane can help guide you through the overwhelming number of galleries with access to an exclusive network of emerging and established artists and dealers.

  • Viviane has the expertise to take you beyond the same big-name, ground floor galleries to smaller, lesser-known galleries where most mid-career artists are shown, and where emerging artists get their start. Collectors see works of art they would probably not discover on their own.
