Ray Waterhouse has been working in the international art trade for over 40 years after being awarded a First-Class degree in Art History and History at London University in 1973. He went on to establish Waterhouse & Dodd gallery in London in 1987 with Jonathan Dodd. He now lives and works in New York, where he runs Fine Art Brokers, assisting all levels of collectors as well as continuing to act as a private adviser to a select few important collectors.

His specialist knowledge is in Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, Modern and Post-War art but, given his enormous art-market experience, he is knowledgeable in most areas of the market. He has developed close ties with museum curators, artists, private collectors and dealers across the globe. Ray has helped form a number of important private collections of European and American art – one of which is worth well over $200 million – yet he still enjoys working with new collectors and helping them form a collecting strategy. He has been entrusted with buying individual paintings – up to the value of $22 million – without his clients even viewing the works, and has also helped many clients sell art discreetly and at very favorable prices.

Ray lectures widely on the subject of collecting art and how to establish value. His previous talks have been organized in both public and private forums in New York, Los Angeles, Palm Beach, Hong Kong, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Basel, Miami, London and elsewhere around the world.

She is one of our primary specialists in Contemporary American and European art and also is the Director of Modern and Contemporary Art for Waterhouse & Dodd’s New York gallery where she directs operations, events and acts as an artist liaison to the gallery’s top-selling Contemporary artists.

After growing up in Paris and living in Italy, Sandra moved to the US in 2006 and has been involved in the contemporary art world since then. She works closely with Ray Waterhouse to develop Fine Art Brokers in the US and has successfully helped clients worldwide in acquiring contemporary works of art through private sales and international art fairs. Sandra studied the business aspects of the art market at New York University and is bi-lingual in English and French.
