Elizabeth’s work is characterised by her truly international background, distinguished business education and strong art business insight.
She was born and brought up in Moscow, moving to Dusseldorf to study Economics at the University of Cologne. To meet her developing interest in the art market, she then moved to London to study at Sotheby’s Institute of Art, gaining a Masters in Art Business. She initially entered the art market as a partner to Daphne Alazraki, with a bi-coastal presence, California and New York. She has subsequently worked with leading clients, galleries and advisors in the USA, UK, Europe and Asia.
Her business offer is above all personal, responsive and always individually tailored to requirements, with the utmost respect for complete confidentiality. She is well-travelled, experienced in different art contexts and combines interpersonal insight with elegant communication skills.
