About
Jessica Zambeletti is an independent art consultant and curator based in London, working across modern and contemporary art. She advises private collectors on building distinctive collections and works closely with artists, galleries, estates and institutions to facilitate acquisitions, exhibitions and long-term relationships.
​
Zambeletti studied at Chelsea College of Art before establishing a career as a portrait painter, completing commissioned works for more than twenty-five years. Her move into art consulting developed organically when a long-standing client asked for advice on building a collection for a house in France. She discovered a strong interest in guiding collectors and has since built an international advisory practice grounded in a discerning eye, trust and close relationships.
​
She holds a First Class BA (Hons) in History of Art from Birkbeck, University of London, and an MA in History of Art from The Courtauld Institute. Her research focuses on post-war American art, particularly the radical developments of the 1960s and 1970s. Her MA thesis Fits and Pours examined John Chamberlain and Lynda Benglis's work between 1965–1975, while her BA dissertation explored Michael Heizer and the influence of ancient architecture on his practice.
​
Alongside her advisory work, Zambeletti curates exhibitions offering new perspectives on modern and contemporary art. In 2026 she curated Lineage, which brought together post-war and contemporary artists exploring the expressive and conceptual possibilities of line. Her exhibitions are research-led while remaining accessible to both established and emerging collectors.
​
Whether advising on a single acquisition or shaping an entire collection, Zambeletti combines scholarly insight with market knowledge to help clients acquire works of lasting significance with confidence and discretion.
