About the Founder

​

Juliette Yuan is a New York-based fine art appraiser and advisor working across the United States, Europe, and Greater China. Her practice focuses on cross-border collections, multilingual documentation, and research-based valuation involving postwar and contemporary art, as well as culturally complex assets.

​

With professional experience spanning Beijing, Shanghai, Paris, and New York, Yuan has worked across galleries, art fairs, museums, artist projects, and international cultural initiatives, developing a long-term perspective on how artistic, institutional, and financial value is formed, interpreted, and preserved over time.​

​

Before founding Juliette Yuan & Associates, Yuan worked in the international art world through gallery management, curatorial collaborations, artist representation, and exhibition development. Her work included collaborations with museums, biennials, foreign cultural institutions, art fairs, and private collectors across Europe, Asia, and North America.

​

These experiences provided direct exposure to the practical realities surrounding cross-border ownership, collection development, cultural translation, and the movement of art assets across legal and institutional systems.

​

In 2025-2026, Yuan provided consulting support to Spencer West U.S. on market intelligence and business development initiatives, bringing expertise in creative industries, cross-border research, and international market analysis to projects spanning North America, Europe, and Asia.

​

Today, her advisory and appraisal practice works with collectors, fiduciaries, legal professionals, foundations, and institutions navigating valuation questions requiring independent judgment, cultural fluency, and long-term stewardship perspectives.

​

Particular attention is given to internationally developed collections, estate and inheritance contexts, multilingual provenance documentation, and privately held collections shaped across multiple jurisdictions.

​

Yuan studied French language and literature in Beijing and later earned a Master’s degree in French Literature in Paris. She subsequently conducted doctoral research in art history and curatorial practice through the Planetary Collegium program at Plymouth University (UK), collaborating with artists, scholars, and cultural institutions across Europe, North America, and Asia.

​

Yuan is currently an Accredited Member of the Appraisers Association of America and provides USPAP-compliant appraisal services. She works with clients internationally in English, French, and Mandarin Chinese.
