The Analyst Behind the Framework
Collector's Arch is the work of one analyst — formed at the intersection of economics, art-market research, and corporate finance. That combination is the product.
The Formation
An MA in Contemporary Art with a specialisation in Art Finance and Market Analysis, from Sotheby's Institute of Art in London. Beneath it, a BA in Economics from Istanbul Bilgi University.
The economics isn't decorative. It's the lens the framework reads market signals through.
The Market Experience
Two and a half years in London across research, data analysis, and client-facing roles — ArtTactic, Saatchi Yates Gallery, Frieze London, Eye of the Collector, London Original Print Fair, and Peter Fetterman Gallery. Data, gallery, and fair sides of the contemporary market, seen from inside. None of those relationships is ongoing. Followed by corporate finance practice in Istanbul: credit evaluation, risk assessment, international banking.
Having worked across the data, gallery, and fair sides of this market, I know where the incentives sit — and I no longer sit on any of them.
No gallery affiliation, no institutional backing, no commercial interest in any artist covered. No one can pay to be assessed, featured, or favourably represented.
