Jude’s love for Art started at a young age, influenced by her Father’s passion for Music and Art, visiting with him many museums as an adolescent. She started collecting Contemporary Art in her mid twenties, having graduated from New York University Stern School of Business, and living in the heart of the buzzy Art Scene of Soho, surrounded by Galleries and Artists. Along the years, she built her collection sourcing from art galleries, auction houses, dealers, and fellow private collectors.
After 15 years of collecting, Jude began working in the Art Industry in 2009 at Phillips Auction House where she was a Specialist in Contemporary Art and eventually moved to Director for Private Clients, handling higher value collections and managing relationships with Collectors across the departments at Phillips.
Later moving to Christie’s Auction House to work as International Director, Business Development in the Chairman’s Office, she handled Collectors across various departments, advising in Impressionism, Modern Art, Contemporary Art, Design, and Photographs.
Eventually leaving Christie’s to set up her own Advisory firm, she works globally to build and manage Private Collections, acquiring works from Impressionism to today. Focusing on exclusive artworks, she has advised, acquired, sold, and traded Art, Design, and Photography for both those beginning their Art Collections to some of the most established Collectors globally.
She lives in between New York, London, and Europe, and travels the world along the Art Industry calendar.
