Arco Gallery was founded by Valentina Puccioni. Italian born from Florence, Valentina graduated from the University of Siena, Italy, with a Masters in Modern Art History. She moved to New York City when she turned twenty. In 2014 she started Arco Gallery to create a bridge between artists and collectors, independent of trends and market pressure. The focus of the gallery is to help accomplished artists from different generations find a wider exposure all over the world. Arco Gallery actively participates in the art fair scene. At the same time the gallery is working in establishing a very high-quality online presence where collectors from all over the world can buy with confidence through a virtual format.
