About

With more than 20 years of experience, Robin Rosenberg Fine Art specializes in educating and empowering art lovers and collectors to acquire special pieces that speak to their individual tastes and promise a strong return on their investment. Based in Montreal, with a presence in New York, Toronto and London, our team is positioned to work across the globe. Our expansive network of reputable, trusted sources provides us with early access to exclusive artworks, some of which are rarely offered on the open market.

We conduct thorough research to source quality art, at good value, verifying condition and authenticity before proposing an artwork to our client. Available add-on services include international import & export, restoration, framing and on-site professional installation. We always work with the best in the business and ensure competitive rates for our clients.

For clients looking to deaccession a single work or an entire collection on the secondary market, we take care to preserve the integrity and value of their cherished artworks, often exceeding the seller’s expectations! With the utmost confidentiality and discretion, we strategically offer the work to discerning buyers who appreciate the preferable opportunity to purchase art privately.

We build long-term relationships with like-minded individuals looking to expand and enhance their collection to reap the benefits of truly living with art—if this sounds like you, get in touch to discuss your vision.

Executive Director, Montreal

Émilie Perring

Ever since I was old enough to hold a colouring pencil, art has been my passion. This was only strengthened with time as I took my first art history classes and became fascinated with the way art reflects momentous historical and social movements. I pursued my studies first at McGill University at the undergraduate level, completing a First Class Honours degree in Art History, and then at University College London in the U.K. for my masters. I am proud to have graduated from UCL with Distinction upon the submission of my MA dissertation, which focused on French Romantic painter Eugène Delacroix and the journals he kept during his six-month journey to North Africa in 1832.

Shortly after completing my master’s degree, I joined the team at Robin Rosenberg Fine Art in November of 2020. As Sales and Marketing Associate, I have the great pleasure of assisting with the sourcing of fine artwork for our clients and overseeing all logistical steps pertaining to transport, framing, and installation. I also take the lead on RRFA’s marketing strategy through our monthly blogs and full management of our social media platforms including Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. If you haven’t already, make sure you check us out!

A perpetual student at heart, I appreciate the opportunity for constant learning that the artworld brings as there is always another artist to discover. I am driven by the joy of introducing clients to new artists and helping to build quality collections. Nothing beats the thrill of watching a collector fall in love with a new piece.

Growing up in family of art collectors, I developed an appreciation for the arts very early on. I would often find myself buried in art books and visiting museums at home and abroad whenever I travelled. My love for the field led me to pursue my studies in Art History at McGill University. During my time as an undergraduate, I had the privilege of interning at Christie’s auction house in New York City, as well as working part-time for Robin Rosenberg Fine Art. These opportunities provided me glimpses of what it is like to work in the arts and truly enhanced my academic experience.

I went on to complete a Master’s degree in Art History at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London. Upon my return from England, I began working for Robin Rosenberg Fine Art full-time as an Associate Director. After working 6 years in the industry, I feel extremely passionate about helping my clients take the steps to build a quality collection they love and appreciate.
