Let's Get Into

Our story

Founded in 2018, The Parallel is a New York-based contemporary art advisory dedicated to building meaningful connections between artists, collectors, and the evolving art world.

What began as an experimental studio exploring immersive media and new ways of experiencing art has evolved into a full-service advisory shaped by curatorial insight, rigorous research, and a progressive approach to collecting. Throughout this evolution, our purpose has remained the same: to foster deeper engagement with art and the ideas, individuals, and institutions that shape it.

We work closely with emerging and established collectors to build thoughtful, enduring collections that reflect their individual perspectives and ambitions. With a particular focus on emerging and mid-career artists, we identify compelling artistic practices while facilitating discreet private sales of significant blue-chip works. Our approach brings together market intelligence, historical context, and a discerning visual perspective, ensuring that every acquisition is considered within a broader cultural and collecting strategy.

Our services encompass acquisition strategy, collection development, provenance research, exhibition curation, and collection management. Whether guiding a first acquisition or refining an established portfolio, we provide individualized counsel grounded in expertise, transparency, and lasting relationships.

Our commitment to informed engagement extends beyond the advisory. Through The Parallel Art Industry News, our digital publication, we examine the developments, ideas, and market forces shaping contemporary art. By bringing industry reporting and critical perspectives into a broader conversation, the publication reflects our belief that knowledge and informed dialogue are essential to a thriving art ecosystem.

At its core, The Parallel is driven by curiosity, integrity, and the conviction that collecting art is more than an act of acquisition. It is an opportunity to participate in culture, support artistic vision, and build something of enduring significance.
