Our history
Founded in 1985, Ronnen Fine Art provides a variety of services for individuals and institutions interested in acquiring fine art. We work with both novice and seasoned collectors, and offer guidance in purchasing artwork; building, managing, and displaying collections; and understanding artists, trends, and the art market. We take a sensitive and deliberate approach to curating and form our considerations on aesthetics, current trends in the market, an artist’s place in art history, and an instinct that has been refined by a lifetime of looking at and valuing art.
