Grace Rong Li

Grace Rong Li is the founder of New Renaissance Advisory, an international art advisory, independent curatorial, and cultural strategy practice based in Zurich, with over three decades of experience across Europe, New York, and Asia.

Consistently ahead of the curve, she helped pioneer the international rise of Chinese contemporary art and was among the first advisors to educate and guide Chinese collectors and private museums in building significant collections of Western modern and contemporary art—reversing the cultural current and expanding aesthetic dialogue in Asia.

Her practice bridges what modern culture often separates—East and West, market and meaning, the historical and the emergent—guiding collectors, corporations, foundations, and institutions toward acquisitions and cultural initiatives with coherence, depth, and long-term value.

Since 2011, Grace has written on art for world-leading media outlets in China—Harper’s Bazaar Art China and Financial Times Chinese. Her work spans a sustained series of in-depth interviews and essays featuring influential artists, collectors, and museum curators and directors worldwide. She often explores the intersections of art, science, spirituality, and philanthropy—bringing a rare depth of inquiry to these converging fields.
