About

With over 20 years of experience, Robin Rosenberg Fine Art specializes in guiding and empowering art lovers and collectors to acquire meaningful works that reflect their personal taste and stand the test of time. Based in Montreal, with an office in Toronto, our team is well-positioned to serve clients around the world.

We are deeply committed to connecting our clients with exceptional artworks—pieces that resonate emotionally and intellectually, often becoming the cornerstone of a collection. Our trusted global network provides early access to rare and sought-after works, many of which are not publicly available.

Each acquisition is backed by rigorous research. We verify provenance, condition, and authenticity, ensuring quality and value before presenting any piece. Our services can also include international logistics, restoration, framing, and on-site installation, all delivered through vetted professionals at competitive rates.

For those looking to deaccession a single work or an entire collection, we handle the process with integrity, discretion, and strategic insight—often surpassing expectations. We carefully match artworks with serious buyers who value the opportunity to acquire art through private sale.

At the heart of our work is a belief in lasting relationships—built with individuals who understand that collecting is as much about connection as it is about curation. If you’re looking to deepen your experience of living with art, we’d love to help bring your vision to life.
