About

ACC ART is an independent art advisory firm founded by Astrid Carolin Cole and based in Jersey. Research-led and discreet, the firm advises private collectors, museums, and endowments on acquisitions, deaccessions, and long-term collection strategy, with a particular focus on the secondary market.

 

Astrid has facilitated museum acquisitions and private sales across Europe and the U.S., and has advised on select philanthropic initiatives, including the Cinema for Peace Foundation auction in The Hague, hosted by Sharon Stone. She also appears in the HBO documentary The Price of Everything.

 

With a background that includes work at the German Embassy in Paris and advanced research in game theory, Astrid brings a strategic, analytical lens to the art world — identifying not only aesthetic value, but long-term positioning opportunities within collections.

 

Having lived and worked in Paris, London, and Geneva, she brings a distinctly international perspective and network to her advisory practice, with an acute sensitivity to regional collecting cultures. She speaks three languages fluently.

 

Her practice is informed by a belief in the enduring civic and cultural value of art, and by a commitment to placing works where they can resonate intellectually, historically, and emotionally. ACC ART maintains close working relationships with leading institutions and private collections across the U.S., Europe, and India.
