Martina Luparia

With hands-on experience supporting sales within contemporary art galleries, I have worked closely with collectors, assisted with private viewings, and contributed to client relations across gallery contexts. I hold a double degree in History of Art and Media Studies from the University of California, Berkeley, and have developed professional experience working with contemporary art galleries in Southern California, New York, and Milan. Coming from a multicultural background and speaking five languages, I bring a strong international perspective to my work, alongside experience in curatorial practice, exhibition organization, artist relations, and press-related activities. I am particularly interested in the commercial side of the art world, including gallery sales, art advisory, and international art markets, and am building toward a long-term career in the global art industry.
