About

ACC ART is an independent art advisory firm founded by Astrid Carolin Cole and based in Jersey. Known for its research-led approach, the firm advises private collectors, museums, and endowments on acquisitions, deaccessions, and long-term collection strategies in the secondary market. Astrid has facilitated museum acquisitions and private sales across Europe and the U.S. She has also advised on select philanthropic initiatives, including the Cinema For Peace Foundation auction in The Hague, hosted by Sharon Stone. Astrid appears in the HBO documentary The Price of Everything.

​

With a background in diplomacy—including work at the German Embassy in Paris—and advanced research in game theory, Astrid brings a strategic and analytical lens to the art world—identifying not just aesthetic value but long-term positioning opportunities within collections. She has lived and worked in Paris, London, and Geneva, bringing a distinctly international perspective and network to her advisory practice and an acute sensitivity to regional collecting cultures. She speaks three languages fluently.

​

Her practice is informed by a belief in the enduring civic and cultural value of art, and a commitment to placing works where they can resonate deeply—intellectually, historically, and emotionally. ACC ART maintains close working relationships with leading institutions and private collections across the U.S., Europe, and the Gulf region.
