ART ADVISOR NYC

Maria Brito is an independent art advisor based in New York, working with new and seasoned collectors, families and institutions to build and shape exceptional art collections.

For nearly two decades, Maria has helped clients navigate the art market with independent advice, a strong curatorial point of view and deep relationships across the global art world. Her work spans acquisitions and sales, collection strategy, private and public auctions, collection management, and the placement of art within homes and architectural spaces.

INDEPENDENT ADVICE FOR NEW AND SEASONED ART COLLECTORS

The art market can be exciting, opaque and extraordinarily fast-moving.

Having the right advisor means having someone whose interests are aligned with yours.

Maria represents collectors rather than galleries, artists, dealers or auction houses. She researches artists and markets, evaluates opportunities, negotiates acquisitions, provides access to works through galleries and private channels, and helps clients understand when a work is worth pursuing and when it is better to walk away.

BUYING AND SELLING ART

Maria advises clients on both sides of collecting.

When acquiring art, she considers the quality and significance of the work, provenance, condition, pricing, market history and its place within the broader collection.

When the time comes to sell, she evaluates the available options across auction houses, galleries and private sales and develops a strategy based on the individual work and current market conditions.

Based in New York and working globally, Maria advises across generations and periods, with particular depth in Post-War and contemporary art.
