About
Art as a strategic lever
Artae Studio was founded on the belief that art is a strategic driver of identity, for individuals, brands, places and institutions.
Exhibition Nature’s Voices, Vasto Gallery, Barcelona
The agency designs and develops bespoke artistic projects, combining strategy, curation and acquisition advisory. Each project is shaped by the client’s identity, the character of the place and the experience sought for its audiences. Through a rigorous selection of artists and artworks, art becomes a defining element that enriches spaces, reinforces their identity and supports how they are used.
The agency draws on an in-depth knowledge of the international art market, built through an ongoing presence at fairs and continuous dialogue with galleries, institutions and artists. Whatever its scale, Artae Studio manages any artistic or acquisition project from A to Z, from the initial sourcing of artists and artworks to final on-site installation, with a single point of contact at every stage.
The founding team
Two areas of expertise, one shared vision
Marion Guggenheim

For over ten years, Marion has built a practice at the intersection of curation, art advisory and editorial production. Former Artistic Director of the Sigg Art Foundation, she designed residency programs and institutional collaborations in Greece, France and Saudi Arabia. Since 2016, she has been Creative Director of Whitewall, a leading American publication dedicated to art and design, where she has also taken part in the exhibitions of Whitewall Projects, its curatorial arm. As an art advisor, she guides collectors and partners in building and enriching their collections.
Nicolas Dewavrin
Co-founder
An independent curator and advisor specializing in supporting contemporary artists and designing group exhibitions, Nicolas honed his expertise at Kamel Mennour and Thaddaeus Ropac. He has since developed an ambitious curatorial program through group exhibitions in Paris, Madrid, Barcelona and Mexico City, favoring immersive narratives and dialogues between mediums.
