Collecting

Kami served as a trusted advisor to some of Sotheby’s top art collectors, managing all aspects of art collecting and collection management—research, curation, vetting, acquisitions, sales, cataloguing, care, and loans. She spearheaded some of the eponymous Single Owner Sales; Rostropovich – Vishnevskaya collection, Berkeley family estate, Hutchinson collection, and Howard Hodgkin estate.

At Tate, Kami oversaw the process of acquiring contemporary art for the national collection. Acting as a key liaison between museum directors, curators, artists, collectors, and galleries, Kami crafted collecting strategies, sourced key artworks, and secured funding. Significant acquisitions include artworks by Rachel Whiteread, Jordan Wolfson, Franz West, Jean-Luc Moulène, Joachim Koester, Marlene Dumas, and Olafur Eliasson.

As Managing Partner at Alaska Coinseils advisory firm, Kami and her team build museum-quality art collections for individual, corporate and institutional clients, establishing a high profile and visibility whilst maintaining the utmost confidentiality and scrutiny.
