Amy Cappellazzo Biography
Amy Cappellazzo is a prominent figure in the global fine art market, with a career spanning nearly three decades in art advisory, curation, and auction house leadership. Cappellazzo began her career as an art advisor and curator and played a key role in the establishment of Art Basel in Miami Beach. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in fine arts and art history from New York University.
Cappellazzo's early work as director of the Rubell Collection in Miami contributed to her expertise in contemporary art and her ability to navigate the intersection of culture and commerce. Her career includes senior positions at Christie's and Sotheby's, where she served as chairman of postwar and contemporary development at Christie's and later led the global fine arts division at Sotheby's. During her tenure at these auction houses, Cappellazzo directed initiatives that resulted in record-breaking sales and helped shape the trajectory of the international art market.
Cappellazzo co-founded Art Agency, Partners with Allan Schwartzman, providing client-oriented advisory services that combined industry knowledge, financial sophistication, and discretion. The firm was later acquired by Sotheby's, where Cappellazzo focused on private sales and facilitated high-value transactions with major collectors. She has been recognized as a leading woman in the art market, with Crain's New York naming her among the most powerful women in the field.
Cappellazzo's influence extends beyond the auction room. She appeared in the documentary film "The Price of Everything," directed by Nathaniel Kahn and produced for HBO, which explores the contemporary art market. Her presence in the film highlighted her expertise in both the aesthetics of art and the complexities of high-value art transactions.
After her tenure at Sotheby's, Cappellazzo partnered with Yuki Terase to launch Art Intelligence Global, an advisory firm operating between Hong Kong and New York. The company provides market intelligence, transactional services, and strategic project execution, with a focus on the evolving Asian and U.S. art markets. Cappellazzo's career reflects a combination of curatorial insight, financial expertise, and leadership in the global art market.
