High-end Service. Legacy Planning, and Privileged Access
About Nuria Richards
Art collection strategy across markets, generations, and borders
Nuria Richards is an art collection strategist, cultural producer, and founder of Nuria Richards Art Agency, a Miami-based advisory serving collectors, families, and wealth-management professionals.
She guides clients through the life of a collection, from acquisitions and stewardship to sales, transfers, donations, legacy planning, and philanthropy. Her approach connects market intelligence with each collector’s personal interests, family objectives, and desired cultural impact.
Richards first established her independent advisory practice under the name RICHARDS & Co. As its services, reach, and vision expanded, the practice evolved and was rebranded as Nuria Richards Art Agency. Today, the agency provides integrated advisory and personalized support wherever a client’s collecting life takes them.
She is also the founder of Clandestina, an independent cultural platform established in 2019 to connect artists, galleries, collectors, curators, and creative projects. Through exhibitions, conversations, and Feria Clandestina, the initiative creates accessible routes into the art market while advancing curatorial experimentation, cultural exchange, and community participation.
Richards’ career spans private advisory, gallery operations, museum relations, nonprofit development, fundraising, institutional strategy, and national arts governance. She has held leadership roles with Oolite Arts, Locust Projects, ArtTable, Piero Atchugarry Gallery, and Ascaso Gallery.
She studied Fine Arts at UNAM and International Business at Tecnológico de Monterrey and completed graduate training in Art Business through Sotheby’s Institute of Art and the Drucker School of Management.
Working across Miami, the United States, and Mexico, Richards approaches collections as living archives whose personal, financial, and cultural significance can extend across communities and generations.
About the agency
Founded by Nuria Richards — cultural economy advocate and business development professional — the agency brings together Global Art Concierge, Advisory Services, and a Collector Travel Program under a single practice built for collectors who expect privileged access and nothing less.
Global Art Concierge
Global Art Concierge is an on-call advisor, manager, and coordinator dedicated to meeting the exacting standards of high-end collectors. Acting as both trusted advisor and personal attaché, the agency delivers attentive, bespoke service across every facet of the art world — from private at-home viewings, sourcing, and negotiation to white-glove attention at art fairs, studio visits, previews, and institutional spaces.
Advisory
Advisory is the heart of the agency — acquisition counsel, collection management, and estate and legacy planning lead its ethos. Collectors are guided from a first acquisition through a long-term relationship managing provenance, condition, and insurance, up to the harder questions of succession and philanthropic legacy that eventually come up in every serious collection. The agency also advises on digital certification and fractional ownership, for collectors thinking differently about how a work gets documented, shared, or held.
