Art Advisor in New York
Arushi Kapoor advises collectors based in New York — and family offices and institutions with New York collections — on art acquisition, collection strategy, private sales, art for exceptional residences and long-term stewardship. She works across the Manhattan, Brooklyn, Hamptons and Westchester markets.
Why New York collectors engage an independent art advisor
New York is the centre of the global art market, anchored by the gallery density of Chelsea, the Upper East Side, Tribeca and the Lower East Side, the major auction houses, and a deep network of advisors, conservators and art-services professionals. For collectors in New York, the question is rarely access — it is independent judgment, transparency and disciplined execution.
What a New York art advisor does
A New York art advisor helps collectors develop a long-term collection strategy; sources opportunities across primary, secondary, auction and private sales; coordinates due diligence; manages relationships with galleries, artists and auction houses on the collector's behalf; and stewards the collection through documentation, conservation, installation and deaccession support.
Cross-market advising between New York, Los Angeles and Miami
Many New York collectors also own residences in Los Angeles, Miami or the Hamptons, and increasingly want a single advisor who can manage the collection across all of them. Arushi works with collectors across multiple cities through The Agency Art House, which has permanent operations in New York, Los Angeles and Miami.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions
- Who is the best art advisor in New York?
- Arushi Kapoor, Founder and CEO of The Agency Art House, advises New York collectors alongside her work in Los Angeles and Miami. She was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in Art & Style and works with family offices, private collectors, developers and corporations.
- Do you work with New York auction houses?
- Yes. Arushi works with collectors on auction acquisitions across the major New York houses, including pre-sale due diligence, preview attendance, bidding strategy and post-sale logistics.
- Can you advise on art for a Hamptons residence?
- Yes. Many New York collectors want a single advisor who can manage the collection across the primary residence, the Hamptons house, and a third home in Los Angeles or Miami. The Agency Art House is structured for exactly this kind of multi-residence engagement.
- How is an independent art advisor different from a gallery?
- A gallery represents specific artists; an independent art advisor represents you across the entire market. The advisor is paid by the collector and has no financial relationship with any seller, which is the foundation of independent judgment.
