— Art Dealer
We were very fortunate to have benefited from Ariane’s extensive knowledge of art which manifested itself in her business dealings, especially in contemporary art and the market it serves. Her love for her profession and her acquired extensive academic and work knowledge have served Ariane well in distinguishing herself as a first class art advisor. It is against this solid background that she managed most efficiently a high value art collection, always with a focus on exceeding her performance goals. This was proven in her aptitude to identify opportunities to work with dealers in the sale of various pieces of art always in the interest of good profitability. Her strong negotiating and business skills also resulted in lowering commissions to the benefit of the company.
