About

Christine Minas

Before starting Christine Minas Fine Art (CMFA) in 2014, Christine Minas spent over 20 years working for some of the finest international museums and commercial galleries, including the Frick Collection and James Cohan Gallery in New York, the Canadian Centre for Architecture in  Montreal and the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa.

As an independent art advisor, Christine works with private clients, corporations, foundations, property developers and others. She brings the highest standards coupled with a warm style to each project—from advising clients about acquiring art for a new home, to helping art collectors build a world-class collection, to  curating temporary exhibitions for corporate organizations.

CMFA is firmly committed to several principles: providing clear and transparent information to clients in an effort to demystify the art market; sharing the work of compelling artists with new audiences in evocative ways; and fostering relationships between art lovers, artists, and the network of professionals who make up the art world’s ecosystem.

A Los Angeles native, Christine is a classically trained art historian. She holds a BA in the History of Art from University College, London, and a Master’s in 17th-century Dutch painting from the Courtauld Institute of Art in London.

Christine Minas is a member of the Association of Professional Art Advisors (APAA) and is based in New York.

Services

From helping a new collector shape a growing art collection to collaborating with an architect to build the art program for a commercial development, Christine Minas Fine Art (CMFA) strives to harness the power of great art to elevate and inspire.

We identify the most compelling artists and artworks for each project and offer a choice of à la carte or turn-key services to meet each client’s particular needs. By traveling the world to meet artists and dealers and to visit art fairs and museums, we are able to provide our clients with the latest information and best advice for their goals.

CMFA stays on the pulse of the contemporary art world in order to share trends, market insights and exclusive access with our clients. When there is interest, we also encourage clients to consider historical art and objects for their collections or design programs. Our network includes specialists in every field of art history and we leverage their expertise based on the specifics of each project.

Our customized solutions are always informed by a dedication to the highest of professional standards and a commitment to our client’s budget and timeline.

As an independent consulting firm, CMFA does not represent artists or act as an agent for any specific galleries. This means that our only focus is the client who has hired us.
