ABOUT ARCO GALLERY
A Personal Approach to Contemporary Art
A Vision-Driven Gallery Founded on Artistic Integrity
Arco Gallery was founded in 2014 by Valentina Puccioni, whose background in modern and contemporary art history has shaped the gallery’s approach from the outset. Raised and educated in Florence before settling in New York, Puccioni conceived Arco as a space where looking, conversation, and long-term thinking could take precedence over trends. The gallery reflects a personal commitment to attentiveness — to artists, to collectors, and to the slow process through which meaningful relationships with art are formed, a philosophy explored in an in-depth profile published by The Woven Tale Press .
Representing Artists Who Honor Artistic Mastery
The artists represented by Arco Gallery are selected through sustained engagement rather than opportunistic discovery. They work across abstraction , figuration , and fine art photography , often over decades of practice, and share a dedication to structure, material, and depth of inquiry. These distinctions are not treated as separate categories but as parallel languages — different ways of engaging perception, memory, and lived experience.
Art as a Personal Journey, Not an Investment
Arco Gallery encourages collecting as a personal and reflective act. Rather than positioning artworks as financial instruments, the gallery invites collectors to focus on resonance — how a work speaks, endures, and lives within their own space and time. Conversations are shaped to meet each visitor where they are, whether they are acquiring a first artwork or refining a long-established collection. The most lasting collections are built through attention and conviction, guided by connection rather than speculation, and shaped by the confidence that meaningful art does not require external validation to matter.
A By-Appointment-Only Art Experience in SoHo, New York
Located in a loft space in the cultural core of SoHo, Arco Gallery operates by appointment to preserve a sense of focus and care. Visitors are received personally, with time devoted to discussion, comparison, and consideration. This format allows artworks to be encountered without distraction, and collectors to be engaged as individuals rather than passersby. Viewings may take place in person or virtually, and studio visits can be arranged when appropriate.
