JONATHAN VECCHINI ART ADVISORY
Jonathan Vecchini Art Advisory is a New York–based firm with Italian soul, specializing in the acquisition, curation, and placement of contemporary art and Post-war Italian art.
JVAA operates at the intersection of New York dynamism and Italian cultural depth, advising private collectors, family offices, institutions, designers, and developers on building meaningful collections rooted in art historical significance and contemporary vision.
The firm focuses on the Italian masters of the 20th century— such as Accardi, Boetti, Burri, de Chirico, Dorazio, Fontana, Manzoni, Pomodoro, Rotella, Schifano, Vedova and others—while actively researching and supporting emerging and mid-career artists worldwide. This dual approach creates collections that respect art historical significance while fully embracing a contemporary, forward-looking vision.
Acquisition & SOURCHING
POST WAR ITALIAN ART
Expertise in Post-War Italian Art and Market Access
We operate with direct access to foundations, galleries, historical archives, and private collectors who steward canonical works from the period that defined European modernity.
Our deep knowledge of Italian Post-war masterworks – coupled with established relationships across the institutional and private landscape-positions us uniquely to identify and acquire significant pieces. Built on daily engagement with cultural guardians and sophisticated market intelligence, we unlock access to works rarely available publicly, enabling clients to build collections of genuine artistic and historical substance.
CONTEMPORARY ART
First Market and Emerging/Mid-Career Artists
We scout and identify emerging and mid-career artists from across the globe, working directly with studios in primary market acquisitions or collaborating with gallery partners within our established network. This direct engagement —whether sourcing inaugural works or partnering with trusted galleries- positions us to discover talent before broader market recognition.

Investments Advisory
Beyond acquisition, we support the complete investment lifecycle-from strategic purchasing decisions through to future sales- ensuring optimal timing and positioning when clients are ready to liquidate or rebalance their collections.
BESPOKE COLLECTING
We believe that meaningful art collecting begins with understanding the client. We prioritize direct relationships and personalized engagement, taking time to listen, learn, and genuinely comprehend each collector’s aesthetic sensibility, values, and vision. Rather than imposing prescribed narratives, we curate recommendations that speak to individual taste and artistic language. By working closely with contemporary artists and emerging voices, we propose works that resonate authentically with our clients’ own visual vocabulary -creating collections that feel genuinely personal rather than transactional.
This collaborative approach transforms collecting into a dialogue, where each acquisition deepens both the collection and the relationship itself. For this reason, we invite discerning current or future collectors visiting this page to share a glimpse of your artistic taste via email.
Describe your artistic taste and the emotions that stir you – whether it’s the thrill of bold abstraction, the quiet introspection of minimalism, or the narrative pull of figurative works-along with your preferred mediums like painting, sculpture, or digital, and your approximate budget range. In response, we’ll promptly deliver a completely free, personalized portfolio featuring 3 to 5 contemporary artists whose works align authentically with your vision, sparking that resonant dialogue we cherish.
DISCRETION AND CONFIDENTIALITY
We understand that collectors have different comfort levels with visibility. Whether a client prefers complete discretion or seeks to build a public collecting profile, we adapt our approach accordingly.
Our firm maintains absolute confidentiality for those valuing privacy, while simultaneously supporting clients who wish to engage publicly with their collections and the broader art community. We tailor our strategy to each collector’s preferences, ensuring their collecting journey aligns with their personal and professional goals.
