Arco Gallery was founded in 2014 by Valentina Puccioni, a Florence native with a Master's in Modern Art History from the University of Siena. The gallery aims to bridge the gap between artists and collectors, focusing on artistic accomplishment rather than market trends.
The gallery represents artists who demonstrate a strong commitment to their artistic mastery, often with years of creative experience and technical excellence. The roster includes both abstract and figurative artists, working across a wide range of mediums—from oil painting and photography to bronze casting and mixed media. This diversity reflects the gallery's dedication to showcasing works where traditional aesthetics and materials support the composition and concepts involved.
Arco Gallery offers a personalized art experience in a cozy loft space, open by appointment. Collectors can request private viewings and even visit artists' studios to gain insight into the artistic process. This approach encourages collectors to acquire artworks that express their individuality, free from market pressures.
Our gallery motto encapsulates our philosophy: “Those who create art have a vision, and those who collect this vision make it an enriching force in their lives.” This belief underscores our commitment to fostering a genuine connection between artists and collectors, putting an emphasis on the intrinsic value of art beyond investment considerations.
By prioritizing artistic integrity and personal engagement, Arco Gallery stands out as a sanctuary for art enthusiasts seeking a meaningful collecting experience. Schedule a private viewing with us by contacting
