Acquiring a new artwork is an experience that is often
as unique as the piece itself.
Whether you are a first-time buyer or an experienced collector, our mission is to help you find the artworks that will enrich your life. While thoughtfully considering your budget, living space, and short or long-term goals, we are committed to pairing you with an artwork that will serve not only as a lifelong companion but also a worthy investment.
From acquisition to installation and collection management, we are here to be your trusted partner in navigating the contemporary art world.
Meet The Team
Paul Vinet
Co-Founder
Head Adviser
"I help new collectors discover art they love and build meaningful collections. What I enjoy the most about what I do is discovering new talent. I'm mainly interested in the discussion that art creates where people bring their own point of view even without any art background."
Paul Vinet brings more than 20 years of experience to CROPP as an advisor, artist, art historian, and curator.
In Paris, he was a director at Galerie Natalie Obadia, Galerie Karsten Greve, and Galerie Anne de Villepoix. While in Washington, DC, he served as a director at G Fine Art. After moving to New York in 2010, Paul served as a Senior Associate at Suzanne Randolph Fine Arts, an Art Advisory firm based in New York City.
In 2014, he cofounded CROPP, a New York-based Art Advisory specializing in contemporary art, and since then, he has been helping clients build collections.
Paul holds a bachelor’s degree in Art History, specializing in Contemporary Art, and a master’s degree in Museum Studies, both from École du Louvre.
Pilar Zimmermann
Co-Founder
Art Experiences Director
"I'm mostly interested in art that directly points us to the human experience and art’s power to expand such experience."
Pilar Zimmermann co-founded CROPP and has been leading our experiential program, where she helps people connect to art in a meaningful way.
Pilar brings a diverse portfolio to CROPP as a seasoned Experiential Art Director in New York City. With a long list of corporate clients throughout the years, including Intel, AMC, Radio City Music Hall, and others, Pilar has shifted her focus to fine art and hopes to bridge the gap between these two worlds.
As a highlight of her career, Pilar served as Art Director for Michael Jackson’s first-ever estate-approved exhibition. Pilar’s work with artists has helped her develop a keen eye for identifying emerging trends and motions in contemporary art.
Pilar holds a bachelor’s degree in Film & Media Arts from the University of Lima, Peru.
