At just 28, art advisor Arushi Kapoor has created an innovative partnership with luxury real estate brokerage The Agency. Her latest venture, The Agency Art House, represents a fusion of fine art and real estate expertise, designed to make blue-chip artwork more accessible to a new generation of collectors.
The collaboration leverages The Agency’s impressive $72 billion in real estate sales alongside Kapoor’s deep understanding of the art market. Her approach caters to a diverse clientele, from high-net-worth individuals and celebrities to emerging collectors with more modest budgets, offering personalized guidance and exclusive access to investment-grade artwork.
Kapoor’s journey began at the age of 10 with her first art purchase, followed by the publication of “Talking Art” at 16, and later owning a Los Angeles gallery in her early twenties. This experience informs her mission to transform how people view art, not just as decoration, but as a strategic investment comparable to real estate.
“The Agency Art House was born from a desire to reimagine how people engage with art in their everyday lives, not just as something beautiful, but as something valuable,” said Kapoor. “I wanted to break down the opacity of the traditional art world and offer a more accessible, intuitive, and intelligent approach to collecting. Our model is lifestyle-driven and investment-minded. We believe art should be emotionally resonant, financially considered, and culturally relevant. For many of our clients, art is not an afterthought; it’s a form of equity that appreciates visually and economically. We guide them through that process, offering access to exceptional works and helping them discover what truly resonates.
“The future of collecting is inclusive and deeply personal. Our goal is to help shape that future by making meaningful, lasting connections between people and art.”
While managing her expanding business ventures, Kapoor has recently embraced motherhood, welcoming a daughter.
“Navigating early motherhood with a four-month-old while scaling a business has been nothing short of transformative,” said Kapoor. “Motherhood has brought clarity, intuition, and an entirely new perspective on time, value, and purpose. I’ve learned to lean into presence, to trust my instincts more deeply, and to integrate my evolution into how I lead and advise. Building a business and raising a child at the same time has been the greatest expression of resilience and intention.”
The Agency Art House’s vision extends beyond sales. Plans include partnerships with prestigious galleries and institutions, as well as educational initiatives such as seminars and mentorship programs. These efforts aim to demystify art investment for collectors at all levels.
“Art transforms a house into a story. It expresses taste, lifestyle, and emotional depth, qualities that luxury buyers instinctively respond to,” Kapoor said. “A thoughtfully curated collection signals intentionality and permanence. It adds soul to a space, grounding it in culture and identity. From a market perspective, collectible art can differentiate a property in powerful ways. It creates emotional engagement and positions a home as more than just real estate; it becomes a living experience. In today’s image-saturated world, authentic expression holds undeniable value.”
