Founded in 2014 by Valentina Puccioni, Arco Gallery is recognized as a SoHo contemporary and abstract art gallery in New York, bridging the sensibility of Europe with the vibrancy of the city’s art scene. A Florence native with a Master’s in Contemporary Art History from the University of Siena, Valentina created Arco to build genuine connections between artists and collectors, focusing on artistic integrity rather than market trends.
The gallery represents artists deeply committed to their craft, often with decades of experience and technical excellence. Arco’s roster includes both abstract and figurative artists, working across diverse mediums—from oil painting and photography to bronze and mixed media. This variety reflects the gallery’s dedication to exhibiting works where traditional aesthetics and materials support innovative contemporary concepts.
Located in a historic SoHo loft, Arco Gallery offers a private, appointment-only art experience. Collectors can request personal viewings or even visit artists’ studios for an inside look at the creative process. This Art Gallery New York experience allows clients to select artworks that resonate with their individuality—free from market pressures and trends.
Our gallery’s philosophy is simple: “Those who create art have a vision, and those who collect this vision make it an enriching force in their lives.” This belief underpins our mission to foster a genuine connection between artist and collector, valuing the emotional and spiritual dimension of art above its market price.
By prioritizing artistic integrity and meaningful engagement, Arco Gallery distinguishes itself as an Abstract Art Gallery NYC that offers a space for reflection and discovery. Here, modern and contemporary art are not just displayed—they are experienced. Schedule a private visit by contacting
