Philip Hoffman is the CEO and Founder of The Fine Art Group, an independent global team of advisors and art finance experts committed to supporting clients at every level of the art market. With over 35 years of experience, Philip founded The Fine Art Group in 2001, establishing it as the first company to successfully launch a series of eight art investment funds. The company has evolved into an international leader, offering art investment, art finance, sales agency, philanthropy, and advisory services to clients worldwide. Today, under Philip’s guidance, The Fine Art Group advises on over $20 billion annually, represents over 350 family offices in 28 countries, and has facilitated transactions exceeding $1.4 billion in artworks and jewelry.
