PRIVATE COLLECTION / ART ADVISORY / ART RESIDENCY
About

PRIOR Art Collections is a distinguished organization with a dual presence in Berlin and Barcelona, dedicated to advancing underrepresented voices in the contemporary art world. Since its inception, PRIOR has set a benchmark for excellence through its curated art residencies, talent awards, and strategic management of private international collections. The organization is committed to providing emerging and mid-career artists with the necessary support, exposure, and resources to cultivate their practices and gain global recognition.
Central to our mission is the Art Residency program, an initiative that not only offers artists a platform for creative development but also provides them with institutional backing and access to an exclusive network of galleries, curators, and collectors. This residency is linked to prestigious institutional awards, further bolstering the careers of participating artists. In addition to our residency efforts, PRIOR offers a comprehensive art advisory service, providing expert guidance in the primary and secondary art markets, facilitating the growth of private collections, institutional holdings, and renowned foundations worldwide.
PRIOR has established itself as a trusted partner of leading institutions and galleries globally, collaborating on the curation and organization of exhibitions with some of the most respected entities in the art world, including the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Koenig Gallery in Berlin, and Phillips Auction House in London. These partnerships reflect our commitment to showcasing cutting-edge contemporary art while maintaining the highest standards of cultural and institutional integrity.
Furthermore, PRIOR Art Collections has played an integral role in the Versiona Prize at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, offering our expertise as jurors to recognize and support emerging artistic talent. We are also active thought leaders in the field, regularly contributing to international conferences on art investment, art market trends, and collection management, where we share our insights on the intersection of art and financial strategy.
As a leader in the global art ecosystem, PRIOR Art Collections fosters a sophisticated and dynamic environment where artists, curators, and collectors can engage in meaningful dialogue and collaboration. Our curated collection reflects the founders’ unwavering commitment to artistic innovation and their deep understanding of the evolving art landscape.
Through its diverse initiatives and strategic partnerships, PRIOR Art Collections is shaping the future of contemporary art, ensuring that underrepresented voices are given the platform and recognition they deserve on the world stage.
