Private collectors, galleries and foundations make up the clientele of Ariane Belisle, who’s enjoyed a remarkable ascent since founding AIB Art Advisory to specialise in post-war and contemporary art with a focus on emerging artists.
She set up the firm in 2015 after years in primary and secondary markets, working on curatorial projects at the V&A, Tate Britain and Haus der Kunst.
After completing an MA in curating at the Courtauld, Belisle was scouted to manage a multimillion pound private collection at Sotheby’s in 2011, and hasn’t looked back since. AIB provides new and experienced collectors with the full suite of services from buying and selling to shipping and organising collateral loans.
