MEET YoUR ART ADVISOR

Betty Briceño holds a master's degree in Art Business from Sotheby's Institute of Art, London. She has gained extensive experience in the international art market through 10+ years spent living and working in key global art hubs including London, Mexico City and Miami. 

A specialist in the Post-War Modern and Contemporary Art sectors, Betty is dedicated to helping her clients navigate the art world by connecting them with works that reflect their personal stories while also serving as sound financial investments. 

She believes that in order to advise clients at the highest level, an advisor must have an intimate knowledge of not only the art market, but the artistic process and vision of the artists themselves. As Studio Manager for internationally-acclaimed visual artist Pedro Reyes, Betty was able to facilitate and oversee projects from the artist’s original concept through their placement in top museums, exhibitions and private collections around the world. In this role, she worked with institutions such as the Art21, Barbican Centre (London), Hammer Museum (LA), Jumex Museum (Mexico City) and the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) Miami.

She serves as a guest lecturer on Emerging Art Markets for Sotheby’s Institute of Art, London, and has published articles for numerous journals including ArtNexus and Sotheby’s Institute of Art.

In addition to the deep relationships she has built with galleries, museums and auction houses, Betty keeps up-to-date on the most important artistic voices of today by regularly visiting prominent art fairs and biennials including Art Basel (Basel & Miami Beach), Frieze (London, NYC & LA), Armory Show (NYC), FIAC (Paris), ZONAMACO (Mexico City), ARCO (Madrid), Venice Biennial, and Documenta (Kassel & Athens).

Betty also holds a postgraduate diploma in Cultural Management and Museum Studies from Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and a bachelor's degree in International Relations from Universidad Central de Venezuela. Before concentrating her career in the art world, she worked as a political advisor for the Embassy of Canada in Caracas, Venezuela.

A specialist in the Post-War Modern and Contemporary Art sectors, Betty lives in Miami Beach with her partner, Orchestral Conductor Chad Goodman.
