Press Release – 10 July 2026, Mumbai
The Agency Art House, a global art advisory and collection‑management platform headquartered in Los Angeles, USA, announced on 10 July 2026 that it is establishing a dedicated operational presence in India. The firm was founded by Indian‑origin art advisor Arushi Kapoor, who is based in the United States and brings more than ten years of experience in art collecting, private advisory, and curatorial practice, underpinned by relationships with leading collectors, institutions and galleries worldwide.
The Indian expansion is expressly targeted at ultra‑high‑net‑worth individuals, family offices, luxury hotels, real‑estate developers and wealth‑management professionals. It seeks to address the current lack of domestic infrastructure that would allow Indian collectors to access the same global markets—such as major auction houses in New York, Art Basel in Switzerland and galleries in London and Paris—without the need to travel abroad.
Through The Agency Art House, Indian clients will receive end‑to‑end services that include art advisory, collection management, fully transparent provenance and authentication, valuation, logistics, installation, and strategic financial planning. The platform also offers access to private sales, curated experiences and sought‑after works from galleries, artists and institutions worldwide, leveraging the broader global real‑estate network of The Agency.
Arushi Kapoor, a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree who serves on the Tate Modern South Asian Acquisitions Committee and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) Future Arts Collective, commented that India’s art market is at an inflection point, driven by a younger, globally‑mindful collector base and a renaissance in Indian artistic practice. She described the launch as a bridge between two worlds that should have been connected earlier, framing it as a “homecoming” rather than a mere market entry.
The press release notes that The Agency Art House works with collectors, ultra‑high‑net‑worth individuals, next‑generation investors and developers to build and manage investment‑grade collections through an independent, collector‑first advisory model. By leveraging a worldwide network of galleries, artists, institutions and private collections, the platform provides opportunities that are often unavailable on the open market.
