A 20-year Sotheby’s art professional with senior roles in the Impressionist & Modern Art, Post War and
Contemporary Art and Old Master Paintings departments, in addition to curatorial experience at the National
Gallery and Phillips Collection, Clarissa Post brings a wealth of experience on the art trade to collectors
looking to elevate their decision-making.
Founded in 2019, Clarissa Post Art Advisory offers
independent, comprehensive and research-based services to individuals and organizations interested in
building collections of value and originality. Her primary focus is on the private sale of Modern,
Contemporary, Impressionist and Old Master paintings and sculpture. With deep relationships with collectors
and institutions worldwide, Clarissa can bring together buyers and sellers of major works of art with
discretion and finesse.
Born in Europe and raised by two voracious collectors – from Bloomsbury
painters to Renaissance painters to contemporary ceramics and photography - Clarissa took her first steps in
the rotunda of the National Gallery and her destiny was sealed. Dedicating her life to learning about art
has been a great adventure and one she looks forward to continuing. Currently, Clarissa lives in NYC with
her husband, two children, one pet, and a growing art collection.
