Ariane Belisle-Donnelly

Spear’s Review

Private collectors, galleries and foundations make up the clientele of Ariane Belisle, who has enjoyed a remarkable ascent since founding AIB Art Advisory, a specialist in post-war and contemporary art.

She set up the firm in 2015 after years in the primary and secondary markets, working on curatorial projects at Newport Street Gallery, the V&A, Tate Britain and The Courtauld Gallery. 

After completing an MA in curating at The Courtauld Gallery, Belisle was scouted at Sotheby’s to manage a multimillion-pound private collection, and she hasn’t looked back since. 

AIB provides new and experienced collectors with the full suite of services, from buying and selling to shipping and organising collateral loans.
