CURATOR OF PRIVATE COLLECTIONS
Alisa Preis
Museum-quality art as cultural and investment value
ABOUT
Art as a financial asset requires not just taste, but strategic thinking, deep market knowledge, and an understanding of value.
Alisa Preis is an independent art consultant, curator of private collections and expert in art investment.
She comes from a family in which the traditions of collecting Russian icons and working with first-class works of art have been passed down for more than four generations. Alisa Preis advises family offices, private collectors and holders of significant capital on the acquisition, management and development of art assets. Her practice is focused on museum-quality works, exceptional objects from the private market and the formation of collections of institutional significance.
Specialising in Russian art, Old Masters and investment-grade works, Alisa supports her clients at every stage of the decision-making process — from sourcing rare objects and analysing provenance to structuring complex private transactions and developing long-term collecting strategies.
Thanks to her long-standing presence in the market and extensive network of professional contacts, Alisa provides access to works of exceptional rarity and quality that remain unavailable to most market participants.
Her approach is based on a combination of academic art-historical expertise, a deep understanding of the international art market and investment analysis. Art is considered not only as an object of cultural value, but also as an independent asset class requiring strategic management, rigorous expertise and long-term stewardship.
Particular attention is paid to authenticity, provenance, the historical significance of works and the protection of the client’s interests. Confidentiality, independent judgement and an uncompromising commitment to the quality of acquired works are the fundamental principles of her professional practice.
Alisa graduated from the Russian State University for the Humanities and the Institute of Antiques and Art Business. The combination of academic training, many years of professional practice and a family tradition of collecting has allowed her to develop a distinctive expertise at the intersection of art, collecting and wealth management.
Today, Alisa Preis acts as a trusted art adviser to private collectors and holders of capital who view art as part of a long-term strategy for preserving and growing wealth.
