Sibilla Maiarelli

I work with collectors at all stages to discover and acquire artwork that reflects their interests, expands their perspective, and builds lasting cultural and financial value.

Background:

Sibilla Maiarelli is a New York-based art advisor. Before opening her advisory in 2025, she spent three years as founder and director of New Collectors, a Lower East Side gallery focused on emerging contemporary art. That background as a gallerist gives her a perspective that is both market-driven and collector-focused.

She works with collectors across the U.S. and Europe at every stage to discover and acquire work that reflects their interests, broadens their perspective, and builds lasting cultural and financial value. Her approach is direct, accessible, and grounded in the belief that collecting contemporary art should be as rewarding as it is fun.

She also writes New Collectors, a newsletter for people navigating contemporary art as a collector. Every two weeks, she shares her perspective on the market alongside work she's excited about, with the context and insider knowledge that would take a new collector years to accumulate on their own.
