Since starting Christine Minas Art Advisory (CMAA) in 2014, Christine has established a reputation for merging an innate aesthetic sensitivity with the highest of professional standards. Based in New York and Paris, Christine works with art collectors and family offices as well as interior designers, architects and property developers.

Whether advising new clients on acquiring art for the first time or overseeing the care of a world-class collection, Christine brings a warm and collaborative style to every project. At the heart of her process is a deep interest in understanding her clients’ goals—often helping them discover new interests along the way—as well as a commitment to the experience of living with art.

Prior to starting CMAA, Christine spent over 15 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.

A Los Angeles native, Christine is a classically trained art historian. She holds a bachelor’s degree in the History of Art from University College London and a master’s degree from the Courtauld Institute of Art in London. Today, she is a regular guest lecturer for the Sotheby’s Institute of Art course Collection Building & Art Advisory and enjoys mentoring, and learning from, a new generation of art world professionals.

Christine is an Executive Member of the Association of Professional Art Advisors (APAA), a non-profit membership organization of the world’s leading art advisors, curators and corporate art curators. Founded in 1980, the APAA is the only standard-setting organization for the practice of art advisory and is dedicated to promoting standards of connoisseurship, scholarship and ethical practice in the profession, and to increasing public awareness of the role and responsibilities of reputable art advisors.
