Liz Parks

Parks Art Advisory builds and manages bespoke collections of Contemporary Art for both new and seasoned art collectors. Founded by Liz Parks in New York City in 2008, the firm’s philosophy is rooted in uniting Parks’ deep knowledge of art history, her keen sense of the contemporary art market and her strong connections in the field to offer her clients a comprehensive, ethically-driven, and, frankly, fun art advisory experience. With persistent travel to art fairs, gallery exhibitions and artists’ studios around the world, Parks sorts through the “visual noise” of the art world to provide each client with an individualized and thoughtful selection of artwork for consideration. Parks also guides her clients through the many facets of collection management such as framing, shipping, installation, curation, cataloging, appraisals, and, when needed, deaccessioning.

Liz Parks has 30 years of experience in the field of Contemporary Art, having worked for Christie’s auction house, Artnet, several prominent galleries and private dealer Diane Upright before launching her own advisory firm. This diverse background in the art world has given her an understanding of all sides of the market and has enabled her to speak fluently to its intricacies. She sits on the boards at both the Rollins Museum of Art in Winter Park, Florida and at the Association of Professional Art Advisors in New York. The APAA is a not-for-profit organization of leading international art advisors who adhere to the highest standards of practice in their field. She holds a BA in Art History from Rollins College and an MA in Arts Administration from NYU.
